This score was then added to the score for the qualification round; this summed score was used to determine final rankings and thus medallists. Starting in the 2013 season and continuing to the beginning of the 2018 season, a new finals format was introduced, where again the top 8 shooters in the qualification round shot against each other, only this time with the qualification scored being discarded and the number of shots being raised to 24. These shots were still scored decimally, so the maximum possible score under this new format was 261.6.

	The prone position is also used to describe the way pilots and other crew may be positioned in an aircraft; lying on their stomachs rather than seated in a normal upright position. During [[World War II]], the [[bomb aimer]] in some bombers would be positioned this way to be better able to view the ground through a transparent panel or bubble in the nose of a bomber. Later, it was suggested that a pilot in the prone position might be more effective in some kinds of high-speed aircraft, because it would permit the pilot to withstand a greater [[g-force\|''g''-force]] in the upward and downward direction with respect to the plane, and many speculative designs of the 1950s featured this arrangement. However, it never became mainstream, as testing revealed that the increased difficulty of operating aircraft controls in the prone position outweighed the advantages. ~~Two~~ examples of this approach are seen in the [[Savoia-Marchetti SM.93]] ~~and~~ the [[Gloster Meteor F8 "Prone Pilot"]]. Modern [[hang glider]]s are typically piloted in the prone position.

	'''Prone position''' ({{IPAc-en\|p\|r\|oʊ\|n}}) is a body position in which the person lies flat with the chest down and the back up. In [[anatomical terms of location]], the dorsal side is up, and the ventral side is down. The [[supine position]] is the 180° contrast.
