It can actually be scored either way, and both ways are listed in the NASGA rules section. It can either be 1st place = 1 point, 2nd = 2, etc., or 1st = 9 points (or whatever), 2nd=8, etc.

Tim,

I have seen scoring done an unbelievable number of ways over the 20 years or so I have been involved with the Games.

Whether the overall scoring is done high-score wins or low-score wins, the results should be exactly the same. Low-score wins is hardly new, but has been slow to catch on at the larger Games in the Southeast US. Grandfather Mtn used it for the first time last year.

As the AD at Loch Norman, I elected to change the scoring to simplify the record keeping. Scoring with low-score wins is much simpler to calculate and is also less prone to errors.

Decathalon scoring is another way to score, and that is MUCH more complicated.

by new I ment new to me,and there are alots of things new to me in this sport,this will only make 3 years for me.....I thank you for fixing the scores!,what I ment on the low score winning as it applies to nasga is that in the over all scores,ie for all scores of B am. is goes by over all points.so if low score wins in a game then on nasga it will look like you lost because on here it is high score wins....did that make any sense?? clear as mud right.

Celtic-bull -

The NASGA database doesn't care what system of scoring is used: decathalon, lowest points wins, highest points wins, highest points (with bonus points for winning an individual event) wins, or whatever else someone has dreamt up.  It doesn't even care whether or if one ever wins any event!  It only looks at how well one throws when compared to everyone else.

"Lowest Points Wins" is the simplest system that I know.  There's no need to convert "place" to "points", or compare competitors' distance to the event record, or have a computer program to help do scores. Hell, there's almost no need for a calculater!!  At the Pacific Northwest Games in Enumclaw, WA, I switched to "Lowest Points" in 1992 and never looked back!!!

Tim, I think you're confusing the scores from the games with the NASGA rankings.  That's two entirely different things.

The scores from the games apply to the game, the rankings on NASGA are calculated from the actual distance or height you threw compared with the record for that event.  The NASGA rankings are not calculated off the scores from each individual games and thus it is not affected by how individual games are scored.
