"If you do not see what is in plain sight, you are probably not looking." Alleluia Ruah
The Ladies Oregon State match was very unusual. After 8 rounds there were 12 shooters left with 11 shooters having 3 xs and one shooter having 1 x. After round 9 there were only 6 shooters left and after round 10 only 3 shooters left. The match director was probably saying "Well that work well." But such efficiency led to the following anomalies:
1. For two shooters the main match was a 6 x event.
2. For two other shooters the man match was a 5 x event.
3. For one shooter it was a 3 x event (the 2nd place shooter).
4. I do not know for sure but I suspect that one shooter reached the final five without competing in her final round of main match.
At Oklahoma in the men's event there was similar anomalies. For one shooter it was a 6 x event. For three other shooters it was a 5 x event. For two others a 4 x. If I was going to root for anyone at Oklahoma it would have been Jayhawker, but unfortunately for him it was a 3 x event.
I am not necessarily lobbying for change, just pointing out what is in plain sight. If we are resurrecting shooters, why not open up resurrection for everyone? We normally shoot the resurrection anyway, believe it would have been Wax Killer at Oklahoma.
