Question: Is average speed before or after rating correction? Is what I'm seeing the *real* speed around the course, or is it the speed calculated using the handicap correction?
(we have one of our race guys who wants to give a trophy for best performance around the course, after handicap)

Hi Andy,
The Speed is the true speed - Handicap does not affect it.
But isn’t what you are asking for just the results based on correct time?

Hi Andy,
It used elapsed.
Units" = aQ:Distance
Distance$ = ToNumber(Units")
IF Distance$
Units" = ToString(Units")
IF NullString(Units")
Units" = ‘nm’
END
Distance$ = Distance$ * ThisLaps#
Elapsed$ = DeformatElapsed(resQ:Elapsed)
IF Elapsed$
AveSpeed$ = (Distance$ * 60 * 60) / Elapsed$
ELSE
AveSpeed$ = 0
END
IF AveSpeed$
IF ~SameString(Units",‘nm’)
resQ:AveSpeed = Clip(Round(AveSpeed$,0.001)) & ’ ’ & Clip(Units") & ‘/hr’
ELSE
resQ:AveSpeed = Clip(Round(AveSpeed$,0.001)) & ’ ’ & ‘kn’
END
ELSE
resQ:AveSpeed = ‘’
END
ELSE
resQ:AveSpeed = ‘’
END
Put(resQ)
END
Cheers,

Hehe, probably...
Our handicapper has decided he wants to play in results - asked for a "Best Performance Award" for the event. You are right, all that he will end up doing is scoring overall, but I think in the end he wants to be able to give an average speed.
Divide corrected time by distance for one boat - not rocket science!
Thanks for the answers, guys.

Or, ummmm, distance by corrected time... Don't ask me to build a rocket
