Hi Colin
What about a check of handicap numbers for some/all of the hard wired handicap systems?
eg PY is say between 500 & 2000 so if a number is outside this range, it is either wrong or the incorrect handicap system has been selected
Obviously could not work on some systems eg custom … just a suggestion
Regards
Ralph

Hi Andy,
I’ll try and replicate it and plug the hole - making series backwards compatible is the hardest part of doing Sailwave…

Colin,
Not sure if this has come up on the list before. We recently scored the second race in a long series. The 1st race was scored by a colleague with version 1.88, the second was scored by me using 1.93. The series has 3 fleets, the default handicap is PY, but one fleet overrides with IRC. In the rush to get the results completed on the night I didn't notice that the IRC fleet info did not get carried through to a scoring rule and the IRC fleet ended up being scored as if it was PY, but with the IRC handicaps - not good. Ok, we got some strange corrected time results, but I did a check on the other two fleet results which looked ok, but this one slipped through the net.
I'm not aware of seeing a warning come up anywhere during the conversion, but it may be useful, as a precaution, if there was a warning somewhere. Maybe there could be a range of acceptable values for a rating system stored somewhere to force a warning if things don't look right.
Andy.

Hi Will
>>...I think the changes in 194 make the interface simpler instead of more
complex as I had feared.<<
I agree. In 1.57 you *have* to define a Fleet record for each fleet, in
1.94 you don't - you can score by any field at any time and modify the
scoring only as necessary with the scoring rules.
However as previously mentioned I do plan to hide some of the stuff not used
often like multiple scoring systems, flights and App LE Add C and Submission
025 stuff etc; this should make it less comlex for first time users.
I'll look into your other comments ASAP.
Regards,
Colin

ralph,
I think this is a good suggestion. Even with the custom systems an upper and lower limit could be entered when defining it. That would make things somewhat generic.
Andy.
