Is there a description somewhere of what the difference is? what makes it a nontypical vs a typical.

I have heard that if one point on one side, was slightly a different shape than the same point on the other side, it is a non-typical...

Anyone know?

Does a broken brow tine, make it non? ( broken in velvet )

I am just looking for some clarification, there is no mention of what makes a typical a typical, or a non a non, on either of the sites - Boone, or Pope.

thanks

There must be a significant number of abnormal inches before a deer will be scored non-typical.

Essentially, you go with whatever is better for the bucks overall score. Keep in mind that 195 is required for B&C non-typical and a 170 typical is required. So essentially, they are saying a 195 NT and a 170 T are equal. Keep that in mind when judging what is best for the bucks score.
 
A typical rack has a clearly discernable pair of main beams with regularly spaced and sized points rising from the top of those main beams. The rack normally has a "uniform" configuration and look. Points not rising from the top of the main beams and rising from other points are considered to be non-typical in nature.

The lengths of non-typical points are deducted from the net typical total of a rack when calculating the typical score. This can often result in very low scoring (even negative) results. When scored as a non-typical, the lengths of these points are added to the net typical score.
 
When an antler point is determined to be typical, because of location on the main beam, its length is entered into columns 1 or 2. If the tine is determined to be non-typical because of location (such as a drop tine, a forked tine, beam points near the burr or if the tine comes off the side of the beam rather than the top it will be treated as a deduction on a rack that is typical in conformation or it will be an addition on a rack that is considered non-typical.

What triggers the shift from typical to non-typical entry into the book is the final score.

The non-typical score and the typical score are compared to the minimum entry score for a specific category. The total difference between the final score calculation and the minimum score determines placement.

For example: If a gun deer scores 145 typical (when the odd points are subtracted) and 166 non-typical (when the odd points are added in) the deer would be entered as a typical. It is five inches above the typical minimum of 140 but only one inch above the non-typical minimum of 165.

Thanks all,
so from your posts, I gather that one tine, on one beam that is "slightly" different in shape, and I mean slightly, does not make it a non-typical.
Since the overall symetry of the beams and tines are the same, all pointing upwards, none to the side, or down, or really irregular.

Again, thanks for the clarification.
