OOD Scoring

Sorry, but I'm still looking for help in merging series. Thanks,
Bill Hunt for your response to my last query, it was a big help.

We are trying to merge the results of several series into one. Our
intention is that the OOD score be the average of scores in a single
series, not the average of scores in the merged series. Somewhere I
thought someone said you could enter BOTH OOD AND points for OOD
when entering the code. This would solve my problem, because I
could score an individual series, then manually reenter all OOD
scores with the points that sailwave computed. The published
results would say something like OOD-3.5 instead of just 3.5 and
there would be no question where the points came from, and the
manually entered points wouldn't change when the series are merged.
But, I can't figure out how to do it. When I enter OOD, the points
field is locked so I can't also enter the points. If I just enter
the points, then I lose the OOD indication in the results. When the
OOD score is an integer, it's very confusing because there will be
two identical scores in a reace with no indication that one is an
OOD.

Can anyone help?

I think I responded to this easlier today. It needs some dev to sort you
out; which I will do. For now in the meta series, select "set points by
hand" (or something like that) as the "method" for the OOD code and manually
enter the points as calculated from the mini-series for each OOD. This will
then work but needs menual intervention as described. Tweak the OOD visual;
format in both the mini-series so you can see the points easily on the
screen.

Thanks, Colin. After trying your method (redefining OOD to be set by hand),
I got hopelessly confused in making the manual changes. What finally worked
for me was I defined a new code: R/C (for race committee). I defined R/C as
set by hand and left OOD alone. I printed the original series results to
serve as my input and then changed every instance of OOD in the merged
series to the appropriate R/C. This let me easily keep track of where I was
in the process, and made a clear distinction between manually and
automatically set codes/scores.
