My test file is at: http://www.racingrules.org/scoring

There is nothing special about the SIs - they say “score using PHRF ToD,” straight “add up the scores” for a total series score. The issue is what happens when the PHRF Division is split into A and B Fleets but they change from race to race (Race #1 is A=0-60, B=61+; Race #2 is A=0-87, B=88+). A boat with a rating of 75 will be in the B Fleet for Race #1 and the A Fleet for Race #2. So, I cannot score using A and B Fleets and figure I should use Flights instead.

My test file has 6 boats (#1-#6) divided into A and B Flights for each race. Race #1, A=1,2,3; B=4,5,6. Race #2, A=1,2; B=3,4,5,6. Race #3, A=1,2,3,4; B=5,6. The directory has a results file that makes the situation clearer (the summary at the top shows Flight and position; from that the problem is obvious).

The points just aren’t being assigned according to fleet. I must have some setting wrong but I can’t figure out which one it is.
