Official vs Custom Kit Scoring

Idea

A flag on scored drills indicating whether the shooter used the “official kit” (prescribed targets, layouts, and materials) or “custom material” (substituted or modified targets). Scores run with official kits are directly comparable; custom-material scores are still tracked but flagged.

Motivation

• Inspired by Amazon’s “verified purchaser” review badge — a trust signal that the result was produced under known conditions
• Score comparison only makes sense when the drill was run under the same conditions
• Leaderboards and qualifications should distinguish between standardized and modified setups
• Encourages use of official kits without punishing users who improvise with what they have
• Creates a clear tier: official-kit scores are “verified,” custom-material scores are “practice”

Open Questions

• Is this self-reported or enforced? (Self-reported is realistic; enforcement is impractical)
• How is this displayed — a badge, a filter, a separate leaderboard?
• Does “official kit” mean exact match, or is there tolerance for minor substitutions?
• Should this tie into drill kits as a data relationship (score references the kit definition)?
• How does this interact with qualifications — can a custom-material score count toward a qual?
