1. How do we develop a "field that is fair" all shooters and styles?
2. Keep it simple, easy to understand, score and keep records
3. Not classify individual shooters or require them to be classified.
4. A scoring system that would apply to all types of contests and events.
5. The ability to maintain contest results that would lend to establishing year-end top guns.
6. Promote the sport of fast draw, encourage new shooters, keep interest and accomplishments of established shooters, allowing all shooters to be competitive.

Considering these guidelines, the following is a system that would lend itself to all of the above.
1. All shooters compete in a contest, men, women, and juniors, together.
2. All total scores are complied then put into ascending order, establishing a full field of shooters.
3. The total field of shooters is divided by thirds; example; 36 shooters make up the field, the number 36 is divided by three, which is 12, resulting in three divisions, first 12, middle 12 and final 12.
4. Titles of these divisions could be; GOLD, SILVER< and BRONZE, or DIAMOND, RUBY, and SAPPHIRE, or GUNSLINGER, MARSHAL, and SHERRIFF.
5. Results of a shooter's final score will place them in a division, they will get 5 points for attending the contest and 1 point for every shooter they beat in that division. These points will accumulate toward year totals within that division.
6. Throughout the year a shooter may place in more than one division, resulting in points being applied to different divisions.
7. Awards for each contest will be equal nature for each division; example; host club discretion of number of awards for each division; minimum of 1, 2, & 3rd place for each division.
8. At year-end the women's or junior's points could be separated to establish top women's and junior's guns per division.

In short, this system condenses other forms of scoring, whether you're a thumber, fanner, slapper, cowboy, twister, or other forms of fast draw, you can be competitive.
