That is all arbitrary nonsense... someone decided that is the way scoring should be done, but it is not a legitimate comparison of animals. The system should be that typical has say less than 5% deviation side to side, non-typical is more than 5% (or whatever amount is chosen), BUT every single inch of bone is then scored and recorded, regardless of which category it is entered in... then we can all appreciate how impressive an animal is.
Sounds logical to me Hoyt, and would represent a set of antlers for what they truly are & measure.
Basic symmetry side to side-Typical, things get a little to odd-Non Typical.
But every inch counts either way and there wouldn't be a choice about which category the antlers go in, the antlers themselves determine that.
B&C rewards symmetry, as they feel it indicates basic health, and they are not wrong about that.
A 5% non-typical would certainly move lots of typical into non-typical, where their score would pale compared to many bizarre non-typical.
I've only had one set of antlers scored because a buddy made me, he wanted to know what it scored in comparison to the many he had scored.
I have lots of nice antlers, no idea what they score, I just toss them on the pile in the backyard or mounted a few if they were special to me.
I think I've seen pics of your trophy room before on GNutz?, you know all about these things, way more than most.
Only one I ever scored, had a choice Typical or Non-typical, put it in non-typ as that is what it is.

That's is a super buck! Shaped like our big woods bucks, heavy and funky. I'm not much into scoring either... I have an attic full of racks and antlers and Skulls... when I get around to building my man cave, where I can sit and remember"the good Ole days," in my "happy place," I will blow the dust off some of them.
