Help with the Error: Missing expression!

Imported from Yahoo
1

When I hit score it seems to do everything right, but I get an error that says, "Missing expression!"

My setup is real simple, it's CHIPS high point with the default high point codes except for DNS is worth 0 and DNF is starters + 1.

The only other thing I do (that seems to cause the error) is Fleets.

The Blue fleet uses a Custom rating system of: (e + 300) * 100 / r
The Red fleet uses a Custom rating system of: e * 100 / r

(this is merely to save the scorer from manually adding 300 seconds to all the Blue fleet boat times recorded by the race committee)

Any idea why I get this error?

Thanks!!

Hi Matthew,

My guess is that you have a custom rating and supplied the formula for calculating the corrected time but have not supplied the formulas for calculating the elapsed and rating values. These are used to calculate the BCE and BCR. It will still score correctly without these but it can’t calculate the BCE and BCR and you will get the errors reported.

Regards

Jon

Yep, that worked. Thanks so much! It now seems obvious, I should have tried that.
