I have a few questions. Why are mistakes allowed? Why is the scoring system row dependent and not based on total number of mistakes Are mistakes allowed in world records? Because that would make no sence at all. Thanks in advance
It works like this: Each row has 40 digits. If you have all digits correct you get them counted into your final result. If 1 digit is wrong you just get 20 digits counted for that row. 2 digits + wrong --> 0 for that row. Example: You memorize 160 digits (4 rows) . In row 1 you have 4 digits wrong (or a gap) and in row 2 you have 1 digit wrong. Everything else is correct. You get 160 - 40 - 20 = 100 digits counting as your result. If this makes sense is another discussion but that's how the discipline is scored.
To be honest even I'm not that long in the sport :D ...It was invented back in 1991 and I think one aspect was to reward high accuracy. It wasn't changed since then.
You can write the numbers in random order, for example 726598248972984617864817387... and you`ll get 10% accuracy. Thus you get 1000 points from 10000-numbers sheet. Congratulations! You`re new world champion!
That's awesome bro
What an animal!
I can memorize millions of numbers if it’s in numerical order 😎
Ok! Recall starts now....🙃

Thanks for the explanation of how the discipline is scored, but I'm more curious as to why its scored this way.
