Defence against stupid user trick

Several times now I have embarrassed myself by forgetting to set a
course distance for one or more of my PHRF fleets (we use fleet level distances
exclusively). Thus resulting in incorrect scores. Unfortunately there is no
obvious way to spot that this has happened. A warning flag when scoring fleets
that warns of 0 mile course distance would be a huge benefit to harried scorers
trying to get results out quickly but accurately.

I agree, Sailwave should check for 0 length courses. Will do.
