Default RE: Unfair antler scoring system?

ORIGINAL: GregH

To me the the biggest problem with deductions pertains to sticker points.

Example: You have a nice 5x5 that has matching 4" stickers on each of his g-2's. He is still symetrical. What do they do? Subtract 8" from the gross score when the stickers (abnormal points) were not even counted in the first place!! This makes no sense. I can see the side to side deductions for the scorable points, but to subtract something that wasn't counted in the first place just isn't right. When scoring as a typical, the stickers should be left out, not subtracted.

I respect your opinion Greg, and I do think it is odd that they decided to go that route. But the whole basis is on typical growth patterns, and this dates back well into the fossil record... deer don't typically grow points off of points. Yes we see it a lot. Why it is exactly they chose to penalize a typical point for having an abnormal point... I am not sure, and honestly the books don't even tell me.

Next time I get a chance to ask one of the higher ups... I will. I'm curious myself.
