    NOTE: To use 0-100 based scoring instead of 30-30-40 scoring for your precision events you need to create new disciplines and select the "Precision (using 0-100 scale)" Discipline Type. Before you do this, it is recommended you delete and/or "rename and hide" the already defined precision disciplines.
