Hi Mike ,
Could you email me your blw file so I can investigate. I don’t think this is the problem but may be - one thing I should have pointed out is you always need to have atleast one empty race at the end for the “swhelper” to insert the new rating in.
Regards
Jon

Hi Jon
I have been testing this afternoon using a series from 2012, working through each race from R1 one at a time and inputting as if a real race. All went well until Race 8, when despite all settings remaining the same, the next race handicaps all reverted to the base number. The SW helper pop up did not come up after Race 7. Up to R7 the pop up had come up each time and I had printed off each Excel of the Race.I am using the external/debug mode. I am not using alias.

I am the Handicapper at Flushing Sailing Club and a long time user of
Sailwave. Together with all of the Cruiser racing clubs in Cornwall we have
been in discussion with Bas at the RYA and waiting for the NHC to be
released for testing, which Bas has said is this weekend. A key part of it
is the Sailwave plugin. I would be delighted to participate in testing and
have plenty of Cruiser results.

Hi William,
That is what this NHC does although initially designed for cruisers.
There
are two models one for Club racing and one for Regattas. You would
be
looking at a Club racing model. This NHC works by having a Base
rating
which is set by the RYA and lets say we have a boat that competes in
the
Wednesday night series and a Sunday Series.
After each race their handicap gets adjusted based on performance of
the
race. The series are separate so their Wednesday night handicap
will
be
different from their Sunday handicap as the conditions are typically
different for evening racing. At the end of the series a carried
forward
handicap is calculated which they will use if they compete in the
next
Wednesday evening series and another carried forward is calculated
and
used
for the next Sunday series.
Thanks for the heads-up, Jon, but I guess we will only find out what
adjustment algorithms are used after the dinghy show announcement?
FWIW my views on race-by-race adjustment are written here
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sailwave/message/9311> , but as I need
to
hand over the Lancing SC handicapping job so someone else, I’m
interested to see the RYA’s approach.
Cheers
