Bug in 1.78 with results calculation

Hi Colin,
I've just finished using Sailwave for our Junior Week - and it made
life a lot easier. Mixing the groupings and starts gave us just the
right split for the fleets we were running.

A couple of observations.

1. In competitor details, if one enters a boat class with PY ratings
turned on, the correct PY appears. However, if one then changes the
class, the PY stays at the original value.

2. We had a handicap fleet of Lasers (4.7s, and Radials). Two
Radials were finished one second apart. When the series was scored,
both boats were scored as second. (As I type this, I wonder if this
is a product of the official PY formula - does it end up tying them
after rounding???) Actual times were: start 16:53:00, finished
17:19:36 an 17:19:37.

Regards,

James

Nice to hear that.

I changed this recently; may or may not have made 1.82.

2. We had a handicap fleet of Lasers (4.7s, and Radials). Two
Radials were finished one second apart. When the series was scored,
both boats were scored as second. (As I type this, I wonder if this

RYA specify corrected times are rounded to nearest second. This makes
sense; it's only perceived accuracy having corrected times to 4 decimal
places (say) to resolve a tie if the guy with the stopwatch can only
resppond at in tenth of a second say...
