Hello, 1st time user. our org. (OCRA http://www.sailocra.com)
regattas used this program last year. I'm trying to learn it as
well. We had our 1st regatta for this year. We had had 5 races and I
need to throwout 1 of the races. What option under the program will
allow me to do this. thanks, Mark Camden

Hi Mark,

Select Scoring system and Discard profile.

Fill in 0,0,0,1,1 - OK and Score again

When setting up a new regatta there are several areas you need to setup.

Properties
Event Information; Name, Web Site, e-mail, burgee image
Venue Information; Name, Web Site, e-mail, burgee image
Scoring System
Points System; low or high point
Series Scoring; tie resolution, discards and qualification profile
Scoring Codes; how DNC, DNS, DNF, OCS, etc are calculated.
Rating System; One design, Portsmouth, PHRF, etc.
Fleets
Name of the Fleet
Discard profile, Rating system, Race distances.
Competitors
Boat Name, Sail Number, Rating, Helm, Crew, YC, etc.
Fleet
Prizes
Name of Trophy
How it is Awarded.
The part you are interested in is the discard profile. It is a series of
numbers separated by commas. For example, if you have a seven race series
which allows a discard after three races you would code; 0,0,0,1,1,1,1. This
indicates that you have 0 discards for the first three races, thereafter you
get one discard.

You can also you the discard profile so that practice races can be shown in
the final series scoring. Given a seven race series with two practice races
and a discard after five races you would code. 0,0,2,2,2,2,2,3,3.
Additionally you also need to check "Discard me First" in the race profile
for the two practice races. Once the first race of the series is scored the
practice races would be automatically discarded for all competitors
regardless of their finish positions.

Mark Townsend
