An exemplary embodiment, the present invention sets forth a method for correlating at least one weapon firing event to at least one scoring event. The method comprising: receiving information relating to a first scoring event; receiving information relating to a first weapon firing event; calculating an angle between a reference line, extending from location of the first weapon event to the location of the first scoring event, and the reference direction at the first computing device; comparing the time of the first scoring event to the time of the weapon firing event at the first computing device; comparing the angle of incidence for the projectile to the calculated angle at the first computing device; and identifying whether the weapon firing event and the scoring event are an unambiguous, one-to-one pairings at the first computing device.

1. A method for correlating at least one weapon firing event to at least one scoring event comprising: (a) receiving at a first computing device, for a first scoring event at a target, a time at which the first scoring event occurred, a location of the target when the scoring event occurred, a direc
1. A method for correlating at least one weapon firing event to at least one scoring event comprising: (a) receiving at a first computing device, for a first scoring event at a target, a time at which the first scoring event occurred, a location of the target when the scoring event occurred, a direction of a reference direction associated with the target, and an angle of incidence for a projectile associated with the scoring event at the target with respect to the reference direction;(b) receiving at the first computing device, for a first weapon firing event, a time a which the first weapon firing event occurred, and a location where the first weapon firing event occurred;(c) calculating at the first computing device an angle between a reference line extending the from location of the first weapon event to the location of the first scoring event, and the reference direction;(d) comparing at the first computing device the time of the first scoring event to the time of the weapon firing event to obtain a first comparison result;(e) comparing at the first computing device the angle of incidence for the projectile to the calculated angle to obtain a second comparison result; and(f) identifying at the first computing device, based on the first and second comparison results, whether the weapon firing event and the scoring event are an unambiguous, one-to-one pairings. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein (c) further comprises: calculating a time-of-flight window for a projectile associated with the first weapon firing event; andadding the calculated time-of-flight window to the time of the first weapon firing; andwherein (d) further comprises:comparing at the first computing device the time of the first scoring event to the time of the weapon firing event. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the time at which each scoring event occurred and the time at which each weapon firing event occurred are determined in relation to a common source of time. 4. A method for correlating weapon firing events to target scoring events comprising: (a) receiving at a first computing device, for a plurality of scoring events, a time at which each scoring event occurred, a location of each scoring area when each scoring event occurred, a direction of a reference direction associated with each scoring area, and an angle of incidence for each projectile associate with each scoring event with respect to the reference direction;(b) receiving at the first computing device, for a plurality of weapon firing events, a time at which the each weapon firing event occurred, and a location where each weapon firing events occurred;(c) creating a plurality of reference lines for each scoring event and each weapon firing event combination, wherein each reference line extends from the location of each weapon firing event to the location of each scoring area for each scoring event;(d) calculating at the first computing device a plurality of angles between the plurality of reference lines and the reference direction;(e) comparing at the first computing device the time of each scoring event to the time of each weapon firing event to obtain a first comparison result;(f) comparing at the first computing device the angle of incidence for the projectile of each scoring event to each of the calculated angles to obtain a second comparison result;(g) identifying at the first computing device, based on the first and second comparison results, each unambiguous, one-to-one pairings between scoring events and weapon firing events; and(h) storing each unambiguous, one-to-one pairing identified in step (g). 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising: (i) removing each unambiguous, one-to-one pairing identified in (g) from further consideration;(j) comparing at the first computing device the time of each remaining scoring event to the time of each remaining weapon firing event to obtain a third comparison result;(k) comparing at the first computing device the angle of incidence of the projectile of each remaining scoring event to each of the calculated angles to obtain a fourth comparison result; and(l) identifying at the first computing device, based on the third and fourth comparison results, unambiguous, one-to-one pairings between scoring events and weapon firing events. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein (c) further comprises: calculating a time-of-flight window for a projectile associated with each weapon firing event; andadding each calculated time-of-flight window to the time of each weapon firing; and wherein (d) further comprises:comparing the time of each scoring event to the time of each weapon firing event at the first computing device. 7. The method of claim 4, wherein the time at which each scoring event occurred and the time at which each weapon firing event occurred are determined in relation to a common measurement of time. 8. The system for correlating weapon firing events to target scoring events comprising: (a) a computing device;(b) a target device for detecting a plurality of scoring events and, for each detected scoring event, determining a time at which each scoring event occurred, a location of each scoring area when each scoring event occurred, a direction of a reference direction, an angle of incidence for each projectile associate with each scoring event with respect to the reference direction, and outputting said determinations to the computing device; and(c) a weapon device for detecting a plurality of weapon firing events and, for each detected weapon firing event, determining a time at which the each weapon firing event occurred, a location where each weapon firing event occurred, and outputting said determinations to the computing device, (i) wherein said computing device: 1. creates a plurality of reference lines for each scoring event and each weapon firing event combination, wherein each reference line extends from the location of each weapon firing event to the location of each scoring event;2. calculates a plurality of angles between the plurality of reference lines and the reference direction;3. compares the time of each scoring event to the time of each weapon firing event at the first computing device to obtain first comparison results;4. compares the angle of incidence of the projectile of each scoring event to each of the calculated angles to obtain a second comparison results;5. identifies, based on the first and second comparison results, each unambiguous, one-to-one pairings between scoring events and weapon firing events; and6. stores each unambiguous, one-to-one pairing identified in step 5.
