Good Afternoon Jon,
Thanks for these replies on NHC and all the work you put into sailwave.
I brought up the issue of ratings remaining unchanged if only 2 boats sailed and finished with you last year. I agree with Malcolm and I can't find this in the RYA document anywhere. If the RYA tell you that 3 boats are needed not sure why they don't tell everyone else. It was a contentious issue in my club last year.
Would if be an option in the NHC tab that when Internal mode is selected that a minimum number of boats could also be selected.
best Regards
Dave Vinnell
Galway Bay Sailing Club

Hi Malcom,
Would you like to send me your blw file so I can check it out. Does the column reflect the value in the rating for the next race? If you have excel and use external mode is this the same?
It was added later to the instructions

Hi Jon
Thanks for the quick and useful reply.
1. I've downloaded the latest version of SWHelper.exe and the behaviour is the same. Looking on the web at published results from other clubs, I haven't seen any example where the displayed NewRating does change from race to race, although NHC1 does change. Many published results don't show this column, so perhaps I should also hide it.
2. Fine
3. I guess it makes sense not to change the ratings unless at least 3 boats compete, although in the RYA document "NHC Results Software Calculations 2014" I didn't see any mention of that.
