Well, I can now confirm that atleast one of the judges is corrupt. (not to be confused with KuRUpTD, he's cool and much better looking, in a Herman Munster/Kurgan sort of way)
So if I score lower than Koyote, it's not my fault.

I request that you use unjacketed lead slugs when shooting the knives, though. The FMJ leaves too much copper on the edge. Messy to clean up.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.
@Christof - Beating Rick is a goal? Just send in a Mora to do that.
@Ken - Why were you looking at where his belt buckle was?
Lastly, should be a great contest. Best of luck to you all

I am glad my design inspired one of the tests.

In all seriousness, we have an Excel spreadsheet with all the scoring factors on the X and all the knives on the Y. Factors, as were presented earlier include:
Each factor will have a max point value (MPV) of 5, except OAP which is further broken down into 7 (to be finalized tomorrow) specific tasks / methods of use, each of which will have a MPV of 3 for a total MPV for OAP of 21. Thus the MPV for any knife is 46. Let us know what you think.
