Of 18 stages, Eric G. won 8 of them; was 2nd or 3rd for 7, and his worst stage finish was 8th! Against the other best shooters in the world, to consistently beat Ben Stoeger, Dave S. Rob Leatham, etc. over 18s stages..is truly amazing.Originally Posted by caleb
Great finish. What happened to your primary Beretta?
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Not to speak for Vogel, but that was my understanding as well.

Double action felt terrible after I replaced the trigger return spring. Took it apart, put the old spring back in, and it still felt bad. Need to take it apart and find out what was no bueno... Maybe just due for a solid cleaning...
Would you guys say that this phenomenon is common? That is, the largest performance gap existing between 1st and 2nd place?
Looking at the data from above, but with a "difference" calc added:
(That lines up on my desktop, but I'm sure it will look gross on some browsers/devices.)Code:Competitor___________________Score_____________________Difference from next highest score Eric Grauffel________________100.0%____________________N/A Ben Stoeger__________________94.73%____________________5.27% Dave Sevigny_________________93.49%____________________1.25% Robert Leatham_______________91.55%____________________1.94% Sonny Morton_________________87.72%____________________3.83% Matthew Mink_________________87.65%____________________0.07% JJ Racaza____________________87.59%____________________0.06% Kale Garretson_______________85.34%____________________2.25% Shane Coley__________________85.18%____________________0.16% KC Eusebio___________________84.85%____________________0.33% Shannon Smith________________84.62%____________________0.23% Chris Tilley_________________84.20%____________________0.42% Frank Garcia_________________83.59%____________________0.61% Phil Strader_________________82.91%____________________0.68% Michael Seeklander___________82.57%____________________0.34%
Between these 15 competitors, the mean difference is 1.25%. Median difference is 0.51%
Would anyone be willing to give me a crash course in looking up / understanding USPSA match results?
I am not a USPSA member. Is the data available to me?

Eric shot the European Handgun Championships in Portugal last month and won. Which match are yourreferring to?

What's really interesting to me about that graph is it pretty accurately shows the "tiers" of USPSA production GMs. You have Eric at the top in Eric-Land, then the real top tier guys: Dave, Robbie, and Ben all pretty close. Then there's a big gap and you get the next level of GMs.
Very interesting stuff.
It really depends on who shows up to the matches...
Scoring works like this: Each "A" is worth 5 pts. B&C = 3 pts. D = 1 pts (Minor scoring)
Total Pts / Time = Hit Factor. Person with the highest HF wins the stage.
The %ages in stage scoring is next lower competitor's HF / winner's HF.
When looking at overall scores, stages have "match points". The winner is awarded 100% of the match points, while the other competitors are awarded the % of the match points. How many match points for a stage is based on the total points.
Example: El Presidente - turn, draw, shoot three targets twice, reload, and do it again - 12 shots, total possible points = 60. The stage then has 60 "match points".
I shoot El Presidente with all A's in 6 seconds. 60pts/6s = 10 Hit Factor.
You shoot El Presidente with all A's in 10 seconds = 60/10 = 6 Hit Factor.
Next, calculate the percent: 6/10 = 60%.
Next calculate the match points: I get 60 match points, you get 60pts * 60% = 36 match points.
Do this for all the stages and you get the overall scores...
Anything else you want to know, specifically?
I sort of agree with you - what I find more interesting, on the flip side, is how many guys came out to shoot that aren't primarily production shooters: JJ, Chris Tilley, Shane Coley, Shannon Smith, KC, etc. A lot of guys were able to come out and shoot production because they weren't shooting L10, Limited or Open.
A dedicated Prod nationals definitely freed up a lot of the top GMs in other divisions to come play. I noticed that guys who are normally "Open" GMs like Chris, Shane, and KC had a hard time staying with the big dogs.
JJ's been putting a lot of trigger time in his Caracal lately, and I'd imagine if he stuck with one gun and didn't have all that silly "real job" nonsense, he'd be able to move into the top five.
