So I attended two of Coach's Intro to USPSA sessions this past weekend, and after some clarification by Rhino on scoring, I have looked at the numbers in an attempt to better understand the scoring, and to see if I improved in the afternoon session (compared to the morning session). I am a complete noob, so In the AM class, I 'tried' to be deliberate & concentrate on hits. In the afternoon, I tried to push for faster time.
I was playing with the numbers, adding Pos/Size (Position/Size of group) and then an AVG.HF (Average Hit Factor for the group)
It appears to me that:
The average Hit Factor showed better scores for the afternoon group.
For the most part, my Times & Hit Factors also improved in the afternoon, despite my accuracy remaining the same or slightly worse in the afternoon.
If these assessments are incorrect let me know where I screwed up.

^This one I scored much higher in the AM (2 Alphas on the swinger!), but my speed was much quicker in the PM. iir I had a stovepipe in the am.

I have a little better understanding of the scoring, and how important TIME & Penalties can be. But I have no idea how you guys figure this stuff out BEFORE shooting a match.
Special Thanks to Rhino and RVB for their help!
