This isn't intended to be a comment on Brad Troyers' contributioin to FT.

I met the man when he came to Tacoma. A better individual would be difficult to find and his contributions to field target vastly exceed the Troyer Factor. It just occurred to me that the Troyer Factor doesn't accurately describe the difficulty of a particular course. It does serve a useful purpose tho'.

And as commented above, who really cares. Like I tell our shooters, "No one cares what you are shooting until you win". We just concentrate on making the match fun enough that everyone enjoys it and tough enough to tick off the good shooters a little. hee hee
