Handicapping

Have just searched back through previous messages and have found
someone with the same problem.
Is Steve & Robyn Fletcher still out there?
How can I contact these people?
Colin.

Colin,

still alive & well (mmm… well for an older sailor that is)

Did you resolve your handicap problems?
If so, would you pass this info onto me.

Steve,
Colin suggests that you have used the Rinderle B High Point scoring
system in the past (or presently).
I'm trying to use it for our current season's results through Sailwave.
Below are some questions that I have. Could you lend any light?

We have a fleet of over 25 Martin 242s here in Vancouver, CA. We're
planning on using a High Point scoring system for our events and
overall season series.

I've scored our first Regatta using Rinderle B but I have a few
questions:
1. 7 boats showed up on Saturday and raced 2 races. 1 boat did not
compete on Sunday. How are the scores for DNC computed? It appears
that the boat which didn't show up scores -19.3 points and the boat
which raced but came last, scores 10.5 points.

2. In the first race, all boats except 1 sailed the wrong course and
were eventually scored DNF after being protested. Sailwave gave a
score of "2.41 DNF" to the boats and 91.2 to the winner.
How is the number -2.41 arrived at?

3. In the second race, 2 boats were OCS. They were given scores of
-44.06 while the boat that re-started but came last was given only
10.5 points instead of 36.3 (for 5th out of 7); although all finishing
boats were scored as if racing in a 5 boat fleet and would also need
adjustment if the last place is re-scored.

4. I do not understand why a DNF scores -2.41 points and an OCS, -44.06.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, I think we’ll try the CHIPS formula.
Fair sailing,
