What is Decimal Scoring?
Decimal Scoring is when every shot is scored with tenth ring precision. Traditional integer scoring is when shots values are simply 10, 9, 8, etc. Instead with decimal scoring shooters may receive score values such as 10.4, 9.9, or 8.3. Possible shot values range from a maximum of 10.9 down to 1.0, in 0.1 increments. In a ten shot series, the highest possible value is 109.0.
Decimal Scoring has many advantages over traditional "Integer" scoring.
•Decimal Scoring is easier to understand.

•National Three-Position Air Rifle Rules for 40 and 60 shot standing events
•Almost all Finals are shot with decimal scoring
Enabling Decimal Scoring
Orion supports Decimal Scoring for most Rifle and Pistol disciplines. It is enabled, or disabled, based on the match's Score Format option, which is set in Match Properties under the Course of Fire tab.
The Score Format may be changed after a local match is created. In a Virtual Match, it may only be updated before any child locations are added.

If you are running a match on Athena, and update Score Format, to update the athlete Monitors with the new Score Format you must re-send the relay to the Targets, choosing to Update Current Relay.
