Abnormal Points are those non‑typical in location (such as points originating from a point or from bottom or sides of main beam) or extra points beyond the normal pattern of points. Measure in usual manner and enter in appropriate blanks.
A two inch long tine halfway between a normal spaced 10" long G2 and a 9" long G3 on a mainframe eight is not considered a "normal" occurrence....therefore it is an abnormal tine. It coming up from the mainbeam is not a consideration in this case...size and location is the determining factor.
The tine next to the G1 on the right antler is for sure an abnormal occurrence...(same as a double eye guard would be....double eye guard is not listed as a G1 and a G2..would be a G1 and an abnormal tine)
This rack has normal G1's and normal G2's and normal G'3s so the additional point above the G1 is abnormal to pattern.
Also the little point between the G2 and G3 does not fit "normal/typical" pattern so it is abnormal also. They are both deductions scored typical.
The little point between the G2 and G3 does not matter what direction it grows off the main beam. Up, down, or a sticker out to the side, it is still a deduction because it is not of normal length or "fit" the pattern of the rest of G's.
This is a typical 8 pt frame with 2 abnormal points that are deductions, period.
you'll have to humor me here but what if the G 2 on the right mainbeam had been broke off in a fight and was only 2 in. long. Would it then be considered a non-typical point?
Go down to Figure 5-F for an identical scenario to the antler in question..of the abnormal tine.
Also covers the "broken tine" question.
