In ASSRA benchrest competition in the Schoyen Match (10 shots for score, any sights) many good scores are turned in from the high 230's up to 250's.
Since there are about 40-50 shooters shooting in this match, there are bound to be some ties.
In a single target entry such as this. Targets with the most misses are marked lower. No high scoring target has any misses so that tie breaker is out. Next the target with the widest shot is marked lower. This may be a shot on a lower scoring ring or it may be a shot in the same ring that is further from the center of the target.
I do not break ties unless they are in the first 3 places, so the results may actually vary a little from what is reported.

Thanks  Quarter Bore,
I now understand how it's done and also understand the reason for officially only breaking ties down to the first 3 places, after all, a tie for 14th. place probably does not mean much.

Jeff,
Thanks for your expiation also, I am fully aware that if someone shoots 248 with 9 centers someone else shoots 248 with 8 centers the one with 9 centers is the winner, because it's NOT a tie. 

I guess the smart thing for me to do is get a rule book so I don't ask any more dumb questions.
Thanks.

Thanks Dave,
I tried that before I asked the question but for some reason  the link does not work for me. I click on it and all I get is a HTTP 404 - File not found error, what ever that is, maybe it's my computer ?.

38 Cal, 

    In reality, it is that now you have joined the elite shooting at Etna Green, you have powers far beyond the comprehension of mere mortal men.  Use them wisely, Grasshopper!
