App LE Addendum C competitor list

Hi: During qualifying the competitor list publishes in alphabetical order. So I get Blue, Red, Yellow - OK for this is not hierarchical. When I reflight to Gold, Silver Bronze for the first final race the competitor list gives Bronze, Gold, Silver. Is there any way to change this? Change it without going to Word and cutting and pasting before the list goes out. In the Finals it is no problem for one can choose the order of listing results.
Thanks, Donald

Does 1Gold 2Silver 3Bronze work??

Regards

Ralph

I used another field & set the values a b c for Gold silver Bronze & sorted on that for the Topper Nationals.

The issue being that this is before the finals and
group scoring (when as Donald says it’d be OK) but you want to show the
boats in Gold, Silver, Bronze fleet/ (flight?) order…? is that right?

A generic limitation WRT ordering which can do forwards, backwrads but
not a specifiable collation order…

It was during the final series i did it more as a convenience so that when we had all three fleets results were scored i could view them in Gold/Silver/Bronze order. Using Flight field you get B/G/S or S/G/B only.

Publishing isn’t really an issue since each fleet can be published seperatly.

It is quite nice though when checking things like how competitors are split correctly between flights at the end of the Qualifying Series that the order is G/S/B so that bottom of Gold is next to Top of Silver so adjustments can be made before publishing the assignments.

So yes it is a generic limitation of ordering, so what i did was used “Set competitor field” and selected all the competitors with Flight=Gold and set the Group field to a, etc. Then if we wanted the complete group sorted as G/S/B we could do it by sorting on Group.

We then marked that field as non published.

Sorry a bit rambling, i’ve not been thinking about this over the winter at all, so trying to remember what we did last year.

Hi Colin: John’s idea sounds like a reasonable compromise. After
flighting for the Finals one has to publish a competitor list before
the first Finals race. The competitors in the top third go into Gold,
middle third into silver, etc. I just thought it would be nice to have
control over order of listing for it is one less thing to worry about
during the stress of reflighting. Gold, Silver, Bronze is hierarchical
whereas in qualifying there are just three different colour flights and
publishing order doesn’t matter.
