I started shooting ipsc last year and I’m a little confused with how percentages are calculated on PractiScore and how classification works.

1. I look at a specific match. When I list all the divisions, my overall percentage is lower then when I look at production only (42% production only and 40.67% will all divisions). How come this changes ? Is it that my % ranking is always based on the top shooter in PractiScore? So when I list all the shooters, the top shooter being Open will affect where I stand ? Versus when I look only at production, then the top shooter to whom I get pegged becomes the production one ?

2. I tried understanding on ipscquebec’s website how the classes work and I’m not sure i get it. It says that for C & D classes, it’s the average of the best 4 Level 2 matches. What if I shot a L3. Would that one be calculated as one of the 4 matches needed, since I did better on the L3 then some of the earlier L2’s I shot ?

3- when calculating the average of the last 4 matches, do I take the overall percentage or only the one for my division?

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks for the link. This does concur with what I thought, in that the % is based on the top shooter. So when all divisions are listed, that person won’t be the same as when only production is listed.

I assume the % used in calculating classification will be the one where the top shooter is the one from my division ?
 
Generally classification is done by division. But I'd suggest to contact IPSC Quebec. Each section has its own rules for calculating classification.
 
IPSC does not combine divisions to determine score or ranking, that is only done so that people can see how they did for fun, compared to all the other divisions. There wouldn't be any point to divisions if they always combined them to determine things. So only worry about the division you shot in when it comes to that stuff. (but when you get good enough to beat the guys in Open, when shooting a Production in Production Division, or even in Open Division, make sure to post the results!!) (and yes it happens)

And there's the problem with classifications in Canada. We're not all using the same system. Until we do I won't recognize classes at my matches.
 
There is no workable way of establishing a way to classify us all against each other short of having us all shoot against each other at multiple matches a year. ICS blows giant chunks and no one who wants to run a good match will put ICS stages into their match, because the stages all sucka and are boring. Plus people game the crap out of them, just like in the USA with their classifiers, and you end up with the same problem of false rankings. Let people use their provincial rankings when they register, if they get stomped on, oh well, it does mean you can give out class trophies which seems important to the vast majority.
