If you were going to score the buck as a non-typical, you'd add the abnormal points/inches to the net tipical score.

The part of the P&Y/B&C scoring system that I don't like is that the abnormal points are not added into the gross score but yet they're subtracted from the gross score. This is for typicals. For non-typicals they are added to the net typical score.

For Buckeyes example..... I see 2 abnormal points (7-8 inches). For a typical score they are deducted from the gross even though they were not included in the first place. Why not just ignore them for a typical score??!!
