Long serie with flights

Hi Colin,

I don't think this is implemented yet, but must...?

Lets say we have three regattas (GrandPrix) GP1, GP2 and GP3.

Every GP is divided into flights. DNC is fine but you have to set
DNF (and the rest) to a specific number depending on how big the
largest startgroup is. On GP1 the flights vere even with 25 in every
flight. DNF will be set to 51. GP2 will have DNF set to 55 and GP3
set to 60 depending of variations in the startlist.

Now for the big question? How to merge series with different
settings on DNF and have a correct result?

I had an idéa of using DNF1, DNF2 and DNF3 depending on wich GP I'm
running but this means also that I have to define DNSx, OCSx BFDx
and so on... Maybe you have a better solution.

Cheers after a sleepless night figure this out

PS The europe dinghy is running like this in Sweden. The last four
GP is giving the total and will be used to divide the sailors into
flights for the next GP.

On dev plan, it's the concept of defining DNF etc in terms of the flight size or max flight size etc.
