Hi,
Another 1.93 pre-release is available linked below.
www.sailwave.com/binary/sw1930604270844.exe (1.93 year month date time)
This has the Sumbmission 025 stuff in it and a discard profile capability
for the finals as per Add C 20.4(c). Needs testing more than I have done so
far.
NB: Ralph. Scoring quals/finals is still as it was previously - all as one
group up to finals then by fleet (or something else) for the finals. I have
not got to the stuff we talked about previously whereby Sailwave calculated
the carry over points etc and allowed the finals to be scored as one group
as well. If it's OK as it is I may leave it for now because it's a lot of
work to change.
NB: You do *not* need to set up the weights as x2, nor set up the last race
starts as non-discardable when using the medal stuff; it overrides the start
settings automatically. This has the advantage of minimising work if a race
is added and being able to score the series in other ways - i.e. by applying
alternative scoring systems without the race weights etc getting in the way.
Press F2 in the scoring system edit window for all tooltips.
The idea behind multiple scoring systems is that you can apply different
systems to teh same data. I've reasied that things like race weights and
non-discardable flags should really be part of the scoring system for this
reason, but it's a good enough compromise for now (having that stuff in the
starts).
