I wonder how were you able to follow the previous shooting formats then. One-by-one eliminations in shooting was pretty much an equivalent of a 100 m race where one athlete gets eliminated every 10 m, or a biathlon race where an athlete gets eliminated at every checkpoint. Tldr: the previous format was already nonsense masquerading under the pretense of "entertainment". #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_like_a_don 925 Posted December 3, 2021 #14 Share Posted December 3, 2021 The old format was the best possible format for shooting I felt. The medal winners of new format may not be the best shooters. Major loopholes : 1. A consistent shooter who may shoot with average say 10.2 and may have made a 2 or 3 point advantage after a certain number of shots in old format can still get eliminated easily since even if he has say 5 OR 6 points advantage in new format and shoots few shots of 10.0 - 10.2 can score just 1 point if all others shoot more even if it's 0.1 OR 0.2 above. 2.50m3P returns to standing finals making prone and kneeling specialist just opportunity to qualify well . 3. Unlike previous format where shooters who are consistent in finals win and every shot counts here it doesn't . You can hit 6.2,4.0,7.3, 8.1 and even miss but still win if you shoot other shots well 4. Also it's possible that 1 semifinal will have the best shooters while the other just ordinary ones (since shooting in qualification and finals can be totally different) , yet only 2 of them may qualify for finals .

Dunadan 1,103 Posted December 3, 2021 #15 Share Posted December 3, 2021 The basic principle of considering the sum of scores over x shots remained the same in those events, even with the elimination format. Now, all of a sudden, a series of 10.7-miss-10.7-miss-10.7 is considered better than one of 10.5-10.7-10.5-10.7-10.5. Consistency is thrown out of the window in finals, there is literally no difference between scoring 0.1 less than your opponent and missing the target.

MHSN 3,163 Posted December 3, 2021 #17 Share Posted December 3, 2021 it's impossible to remember all these rules for all these events when you watch them later. they are very different event by event and how the hell we have 2 bronze medals in mixed team events ? what's the logic behind that ? is there any logic for anything at all ?
