Scoring an 8

This is for Pope and Young as well.

Always a 8 circumference measurements. Even if a spike, you would take the total length and divide by 4 and take the measurements there....

That’s incorrect, you measure the mass at half the length of the spike and then multiply that circumference by four.

But hey who’s scoring spikes [emoji23]

So I'm pretty positive I know the answer to this, but I want to see what the rest of y'all say. When scoring an 8 do you get 6 or 8 mass measurements?

Wrong

Per B&C

H: CIRCUMFERENCES
Circumferences are taken at the narrowest place as detailed in Figure C for each measurement. If the brow point is missing, take H-1 and H-2 at the smallest place between the burr and the G-2 point. If the G-4 point is missing, take H-4 halfway between the G-3 point and the tip of the main beam.

A couple of mistakes that people often make. Here is one example. Suppose you are scoring a six point buck. You still get credit for all 4 circ. measurements. The last two on each side will be the same... measured half way between the last point and the tip.
