new to program, need help

Hello Colin and all, greetings from Torndao Alley Sailng Club in
Memphis, TN, USA.

First the questions:
1) Is there a way to only score the races competed and not 1+all for
DNS?

2) To auto-calculate and include in results the participation %?

3) To adjust that percentage for RC duty?

Why these would help:
We are a trailering club racing under Portsmouth with wind
handicapping for two series per year (7-8 meetings over three
months each series).

We use the alternate low-point scoring system (USSailing AA
prescription). In this version, the competitor is scored on an
average of the races sailed (no score or penalty for DNS).

We require 60% participation in all races sailed to qualify for
series honors. We account for members rotating through RC duty by
deducting the number of races served from the total number of races
competed so that service does not affect participation percentage.

I've had the program for a month now and have tried to set it up to
our requirements and test it against past results. I've found some
of the utilities needed, and I've searched past posts, but am stuck
with regard to the questions above.

Thanks for any help.

Edit+ScoringSystem -> Codes -> DNS amd set the method to points for number
of races + N.

2) To auto-calculate and include in results the participation %?

Good idea; added to todo list.

3) To adjust that percentage for RC duty?

Sorry, not quite sure what you mean.

You can use the qualification profile to force that requirement.
