Anyone have the NZDA Handbook? Can't seem to find where to get it.
Few conflicting bits of info about where to measure some of the measurements. Have people saying beam is between Brow and Bez and others saying Bez and Trez.
Spread being widest point to widest point other saying widest point on main beam.
How the back tine is measured etc.
Used to be good info on the other forum but that's long gone now.
Bez n trey and width at the widest, easiest way is to put it against the corner wall and measure the other side as the widest.
If you are an NZDA member, you can buy one through the national office or sign yourself up for the next Level One measuring seminar and learn it correctly. If not, a member known to you should be able to get it for you.Quote:

You get the handbook when you do the course , reds are probably the hardest to measure when they have 3 or more on top and working out inners / outers / back tines etc. and where to measure from
If someone could post up a score sheet it would be easy enough to follow
I've got a score sheet there's no guideline on how points bases are determined, where measurements start from or anything for spread, span beams measurements. All those things can widely change scores.
i gots the norman douglas score book here.. pm me an email addy an il flick the red deer stuff thruAttachment 215217
Correct, if you don't know the correct method of measure then the score will only be an estimate.Quote:

Good luck, be keen to see how you get on.

for in House its fine to get the gist of the score, or to score ya own heads - as long as you measure each one the same way :)Quote:

the technicalities in some of the douglas score methods can make for grey water to unexperienced an often a couple extra "douglasses" here or there :D
Tell me about it [emoji16]Quote:

just to throw a cat in with the pidgeons as im sure the Douglas is still held in high regard in kiwi :P
We can both SCI score heads so if Rees sends you the info he has pop in and we can Douglas score your head, Chalk, pencil, cable and steel tape all hereQuote:

i sent the douglas info, so he should be in the ball park- we will await Stockys rough score :)
Put a photo up first and we will guess
We don't have the 60 day rule here in NZQuote:

Can't enter a stripped head in the books anyway. The actual number doesn't matter more it's a good guide of where it stands in terms of how good heads get. Im beyond stoked after leaving easily hundreds of stags over the last 6 years it means alot. Will post a photo at some stage just not right now. It should go 300 or atleast very close to it if not.Quote:
