Here's a graph to represent this:
Ratings Based Accuracy (Thresholds):
Actual accuracy is not reflected by rating, instead, it is reflected by mini-thresholds
- 75% at 65 Accuracy (S/M/D)
- 85% at 70 Accuracy (S/M/D)
- 88% at 75 Accuracy(S/M/D)
- 90% at 80 Accuracy S/M/D)
- 95% at 90 Accuracy (S/M/D)
- 97% at 95 Accuracy (S/M/D)
- 99% at 99 Accuracy (S/M/D)
Here's a graph to represent this information:
Throw On Run Penalty:
- At 60 or below throw on run rating, 100% of penalty
- Scales down to 70% of penalty at 99 throw on run
Here's a graph to represent this information:
Throw Under Pressure Penalty:
- At 60 or below throw under pressure rating, 100% of penalty.
- Scales down to 45% of penalty at 99 throw under pressure.
