A typical rack is basically a main-frame with the same amount of upright points on each beam-symmetry is a key point.A NT would have drops,stickers and any other abnormalities.

RET although I am not an expert on this, I do not beleive one sticker would make it a non-typical, I have seen racks with quite a few stickers that were scored typical and non-typical, the stickers are deductions when it comes to scoring them typical though.

I believe the a rack is considered typical when it scores higher as a typical in the typical calss as it would a non-typ in the non-typ class.

personally I consider any normal main frame rack with normally located G tines a typical - regardless of how many kickers or " junk" it has off of it.

Non-typical racks to me are the ones when you cant locate G tines and the thing is just a mess

Nontypical is classed as any point not orginating from the main beam in an upright/regular fashion. So this means forked points, droptines, kickers, stickers, etc are classified as abnormal or nontypical growth. So yes a sticker can be classified non-typical however it would be more likely classified a typical with the sticker coming in as a deduction off the net score but can be scored both(as mentioned most will opt for the typical score vs nontypical with a few kickers as they don' t add up to much towards a higher min. for NT to make book) The number of tines per side do not indicate a nontypical rack (symetry has nothing to do with the classification), just a lot to due with the final score. ie: a 4x5 or 5x6 will be scored as a typical!!!! Basically think of it as a 4x4 or 5x5 (as long as the tines(g' s) orginate on the main beam and go some what upward) the missing G' s spot or tine will result in a deduction of the extra tine length off the net score!

3 antlered deer are not scorable, consider freaks of nature and therefore have no classifaction in official scoring books.

Check out the official websites for more info and min. scores.

Per the B & C rules, a rack needs 15" of abnormal antler to be considered non-typical.
