New User - High Points Formula

Imported from Yahoo
1

Hi,

I’m looking at using Sailwave on behalf of Thames Sailing Club and am trying to understand how I may implement our (possibly?) unique high scoring system. I suspect that a formula is the way to go however I’ve not yet been able to work out how.

The scoring works as follows:

4 points for a start
2 points for a finish +1 point per place + 1 point for the winner

As this may be easier to understand with an example, the following is how we’d score a 6 boat race:

1st - 13pts (4+2+6+1)
2nd - 11pts (4+2+5)
3rd - 10pts (4+2+4)
4th - 9pts (4+2+3)
5th - 8pts (4+2+2)
6th - 7pts (4+2+1)

Any guidance on how this may be set up (or confirmation if it can’t!) would be appreciated.

Thanks

To clarify my problem, it’s the +1 for 1st place that is proving difficult to calculate.

I’ve used 6+(s-p+1) for the rest.

  • (f-p+1) + int(1/p)

Would work - then you need to set up the points for the codes (DNF,DNC
etc) as well. There is a tool that does this for a fairly typical HP
system there (use the hand icon) then you can tweak form there.

int(1/p) is 0 for anything except 1…

Thanks Colin!

Much obliged.

In build 5 it’s lightly more intuitive…

6+(s-p+1) + eq(p,1)

As opposed to:-

6+(s-p+1) + int(1/p)
