What classifies a buck as a Non-Typical is how it is scored. First off, it ( obviously) has to have a certain amount of irregular points. With the Buckmaster scoring system, there must be at least 10% of the total rack in irregular points. In all scoring systems, there is a catagory for abnormal points. In B&C for example, say you have 12 1/8" of abnormal points. You first score the rack as a " Typical", then do all the deductions as normal. When you get that score ( let's say 160), you go back and add the total amount of abnormal points, and that is your " Non-Typical" score ( 172 1/8). If your buck has a high enough score to be entered as a " Non-Typical" ( 180 BC), you can enter him in that catagory. If not, those non-typical points are now deductions from your typical score. After deducting ( 160 - 12 1/8 = 147 7/8 ), if he is still high enough to make the typical book, then he is catagorized there. In the Buckmaster Scoring system, there are NO deductions, but no " Inside Spread" credit either. Your bucks totalinches ofantler would be his score.
