Hi Colin,
I just downloaded version 1.56 and rechecked a DNC calculation with this version and it would appear that there may still be problems..
Setting the DNC calculation for: average of (sum of points for non-DNC races) + N, where N=2
results in the following published results:
July 11 2004b
Sailed: 8 Discards: 3 Ratings: None
Rank Boat Name Sail No Skipper R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R7 R8 Nett

It would appear that the DNC calculation was the result of the LOWEST race score +N rather than the average..
Note the 3rd ranked Grey Ghost where the average of the four races actually sailed was 10 points/4= 2.5 points so a DNC should be 2.5 + N= 4.5 points.
I believe that the net result for Grey Ghost should have scored 1 DNC ( 3 of the DNC discarded at 4.5 points) = 4.5 points + 10 points from race 2,3 4,6 for a total of : 14.5 points, rather than the 12.0 points shown here..
This would reverse the position of ranks 3 and 4...
Perhaps I am missing something or is there a problem here?
I have not yet checked any of the other DNC scoring variables.
kind regards,
