Not calculating corrected times

Imported from Yahoo
1

Sorry not to be able to figure this out for myself but the two handicap fleets in the attached BLW aren’t having their corrected times calculated. I have two similar BLWs that work perfectly but I can’t spot the difference. Can any one put me right, please.

Also, and much less importantly, what is the Rating System section of the property bar trying to say.

TIA

Hi Richard,

  Quite simple answer. There is only one start configured Race 1

for al competitors and additionally the the finishes is set to
place. To give an idea of the configuration I think is needed for
the starts is in the attached modified version of your file.

But everything does need careful checking for you specific

circumstances, which without seeing the SI’s cannot be certain of.

The rating section of the property bar is telling you how many

ratings are in your ratings file(s)
Kind regards,

Huw

Thanks Huw

Nice idea but I’m not convinced it is the answer, or at least not all of it. Here is another BLW from the same event and with the same set up for races and it works fine.

This is using the Windows messaging interface BTW and we send elapsed times for handicap fleets and places for classes. The product of races * starts is just too big for it to be practical to set up individual starts but this is the 4th year of doing it this way and SW has always calculated correctly based on each fleets rating system setting. And as I say it works this year too for 2 out of 3 BLWs. No doubt it is a setting somewhere but I can’t spot it.

The Rating Section of the property bar looks to be listing which fleets use which rating system. It seems to get that wrong but no matter.

Unless somebody has a better idea I’ll probably try rebuilding the errant BLW based on a working one and see if that does the trick.

Thanks again

Richard

Thanks Huw

I can’t believe Yahoo just threw away my last reply but what I was saying is that I’m not sure that you are right for once. Here is another BLW from the same event with races set up the same way and it works perfectly. It’s Fed/Chi Race Week and there are just too many starts to specify them individually. We use the Windows Messaging interface to send SW elapsed times or places as appropriate and SW calculates correctly based on each fleet’s rating system. At least it has done for the last 3 years and does this year in 2 BLWs out of 3.

I’m sure it is a setting somewhere but I can’t spot it.

Another error is that the Rating System is set to None - should be
set to RYA Portsmouth

Nope. For the two handicap fleets it is set to PY.

Hi Richard,

Nice complicated set up, Looks like you tidied up the fleet names at some point and the fleet scoring has the old name with a -man instead on Man just pop into Scoring for Fleets and drop down to reset this fixes your issue

Cheers

Fixed it. There was a small but significant difference in the spelling of the fleet names (values) as set up in Scoring System and those sent to SW from the event database via Windows Messaging. “1-man” vs “1 man”, “2-man” vs “2 man”. Line them up and all is well.

Thank you to those who spent time investigating. I seem to recall being caught out by this before - some people never learn!

And I still don’t understand what Rating Systems in the property bar is trying to say but no matter.

Thought I’d sent this before!

It appears you hace tidied up the fleet names since set up was -man now Man see pic attached. Just pop into the fleet scoring setup and select from drop down again it it all works

Hi,

Just pop in the fleet scoring setup and select from drop down again and it works fine.

Hi Richard if you mean the property bar as in the image I sent

Look under scoring system fleets that where the choice of rating sytems was set for each fleet

If thats not what you mean sorry can’t help.

It does self check a whole load of stuff before scoring but it looks like I missed some stuff that would be useful and easy to add…

Hi Colin

I don’t know if it makes a difference but all the competitor and results data is being injected into Sailwave via Windows Messaging. Maybe that bypasses some validation.

Hi Keith

See attached. There are just 2 PY handicap fleets as indicated by their names. My confusion comes from the heading “Rating system PY” appearing below each of them whereas “Rating system none” appears before the first non-PY and not again.

Perhaps it’s supposed to be like that. Otherwise it’s a little winter job for Jon!

Hi Richard,

I think it makes sense Default is None, the other fleets don’t change the default so no Rating sytem, You don’t actually need the fleets that don’t Change anything, although I can understand why you’d leave them in for clarity.

Cheers

Keith
