Notes:

 

PI is the sum of the square of the distances from the hit locations to the red dot, but with the limitation that no individual hit distance is allowed to be larger than 20 cm. This determines that the MAXIMUM PI can be is 4000. The minimum is zero if all shots were direct hits.

 

Old PI refers to value from Round 1

New PI refers to value from Round 2

 

Nhits is the number of hits that fell closer than a radius of 20 cm. 

 

“Score” is the number of points awarded to each team. This is out of 30 possible points.
