more on DNC averaging

Hi Colin,

It would appear that the DNC averaging routine is not yet working properly ??..
Here is an example of DNC= average of (sum of points for Non-DNC races) + 1

The Nett for the third boat (ION!) is showing as 8.0
Since his average is 2.5 plus a 1 point penalty, this should produce a DNC of 3.5 giving a Nett of 8.5
Do I understand the calculation correctly ??

Hi James,

Seems OK here - gives 8.5, which is correct. At a guess you have got the
decimal point resolution set to 0 so everything is being rounded to a whole
number.

In Edit+ScoringSystem RaceScoring tab, set "Round point to this many decimal
places" to 1 (or more) as appropriate.

Does it work now?

Regards,
