Hi … I have had to rescore some places that create duplicate places in the scoring. however when I rescore the series I end up with .5 added to the points. is there a way of doing the adjustment or removing the .5 score?
I think you need to give more info.
If two boats have the same finish time or same finish position then the
boats are tied. As a default, Sailwave calculates scores for ties
according to RRS A7 - add the points for the tied place and the next
place(s) and divide by the number of tied boats. With two tied boats and
the Low Point System that means each gets X.5 points.
If your NOR and SIs change A7 then Sailwave has an option to have tied
boats get the same points as the place for which they are tied, rather
than the average of that place and the place immediately below. Go to
Setup>User interface and enable "Non-standard race tie options" by
checking the checkbox. Now you will have options on how to score race
ties under Setup|Scoring system on the Race scoring tab (lower right
corner). I believe "Share points" gives each boats the same points as
the place for which they are tied. I don't know what "None" would do. My
recommendation for writing your NOR and SIs is always to follow the
default rules in the RRS unless you have a VERY STRONG and
well-thoughtout reason why not to. I cannot think of any good reason not
to use the standard default tie-breaking rules though one may exist.
If you are trying to do something with redress then the answers and your
options would obviously be totally different.
Let us know what your circumstances are and someone should be able to
advise on options.

art, I was basically copying hand written results into sailwave for posting… and came across some shared finishes… I am unable to find out why, so just trying to keep the results the same because it messes up the order when scored…
what is the process when a redress is involved? I have encountered that before…
