How is IPSC/USPSA hit factor calculated?

Hit Factor = (Total Points − Penalties) / Time in seconds. A stage with 48 points, 5 penalty points, and completed in 15 seconds gives a hit factor of (48−5)/15 = 2.87. Stage winner's hit factor is used to calculate percentage scores.

What hit factor is needed to reach Grand Master in USPSA?

Grand Master requires a 95%+ classifier score averaged across multiple classifiers. In Open division, this typically requires hit factors of 9.0+ on speed stages. Production and Single Stack divisions require lower raw hit factors due to equipment handicaps.
