DNC won't work for me

Imported from Yahoo
1

I had a good look through the posts but couldn't see this - apologies
if i missed it or I am missing something trivial.

I have a series with 2 fleets in that use the bonus points system and
DNF or DNC.

I have a competitor file that contains all the boats and I exclude
everyone until they take part in 1 race of the series.

Everything works fine: people score the correct points and DNF's
score "number of finishers plus 1".

The problem:

DNC is supposed to score "Boats in series +1" but for both fleets it
scores "Boats in series + 1 + 6" for both fleets.

I have no idea where this 6 comes from.

FLEET 1 has 6 entrants - but DNC scores 13
FLEET 2 has 13 entrants - but DNC scores 20

which means that both are over by 6 points.

Have i missed a check box or misinterpreted one?

Thanks in advance

Hi Stu,

It's because of the bonus point system (it's correct). The RRS refers to
'points for the position of boats-in-series+1', not 'points of
boats-in-series+1'.
