The “Lewis” scoring system allows shooters to compete with shooters close to their own abilities.
After everyone is done shooting, the competitor’s scores are listed in the overall order in which they finished. This list will be divided into thirds into “A”, “B” and “C” classes. The top shooter in each class will get an award. Competitiors have no way of knowing what the cutoff score for class B and C will be until the scores are totaled. This eliminates “sandbagging”.
