Default How to measure racks for scoring???

I think I got this down for the most part. My only questionare:
how are the G1s supposed to be measured (from where on the base/main beam)?
How are the main beams measured (from where on the base)?

Anyone care to clarify?

For instance.. how would you measure the left brow tine on this pic?

Closest to the base.. or furthest from the base?
And what if it looks to start at the base?

The beam you measure right around the outside edge. You follow a bloodline that goes all the way around. The browtine you measure where it connects to the mainbeam. here is a pic. sorry a little shaky on paint

You just make an imaginary line from the top of the beam where the point connects and measure to that.

Blondiez24 is correct on where to measure from. But you should measure from the back side of the tine. The tines usually curl in and you will get a more accurate measurement if you use the outside.
