Colin,
If I may be so bold as to suggest a wish-list item...
It would be nice if there was a code 'OOD' which would not appear as a
placed boat in the Race Results publish sheet. I could then use this
to print out the race results on a race-by-race basis (over the course
of a series). At the end of a series, when the average points for
OODs can be accurately known, the Series Results publish sheet could
then take into account the OOD average points scores.
Alternatively, a way to print out just the results of a single race
which ignored OOD codes would do the same job. To me it makes sense
for the competitors to see how they did on the water in a particular
race without the OOD affecting their position.
Regards,
Jon.
Hi Jon,
In the program/series-summary, you're probably looking at the scored
points
or recorded results, which will both show 2 (place=2, score=2.0
points) in
your case, but if you use the view menu to view positions (or change the
view from the drop down list in the toolbar) you see the 2 change to
a 3.
One thing I have thought about doing recently is *always* show a decimal
point when displaying points so that 2 is not confused with
overall-position
or rank of 2.
How would you like to show the race results table in this context?
Perhaps
we can accommodate it...
Regards,
Colin
