how would you score it?
Hey all, I'm running a big buck contest at work and my buddy shot one today, don't know how to score. It probably would have been a main frame 10 with 2 non-typical points on the left (one broken off) and 2 non-typicals on the left plus a sticker that just makes the inch mark. The problem is the rightmain beam is broken off just in front of the g-2, leaving the brow tine, the g-2, the non-typical stuff, and about an inch of main beam after the g-2. My main question is does this get scored as a typical or non-typical and how do you score whats left of the main beam past the g-2? I'll try to get some pics on here tomorrow for reference, but for now any advice would be welcome. thanks.

I would score all of them asa gross score and not worry about typical and non-typical unless you have already announced it as both winning prizes. A guy I knew a few years ago started a contest and started adding his own measurements, inside width, outside width, number of points, etc and he had the biggest mess you have ever seen...

RE: how would you score it?
The broken main beam would be scored the same as any main beam - from the base to where the beam comes to a screeching halt. In other words, you can only measure what's there.
There is no steadfast rule as to whether you must score typical or nontypical; usually the choice is made according to the most beneficial result. For example, to make B&C as a typical, the minimum is 170 net while a nontyp is 195 net. Bearing in mind that abnormal points are subtracted for typical scoring and added for nontypical scoring, the break even point is 12 1/2 points - i.e., half the difference between the 195 and 170. So a buck with a 10 nontypical point score would likely get them subtracted and be scored as a typical rack.
