30.2
The new RRS 2009-2012 rules are now available online.
Rule 30.2 has been clarified so that it is clear that a competitor can incur multiple Z Flag Rule penalties of 20% in a single race.
Currently SailWave only allows a single scoring code per race, so does not allow multiple Z Flag and Scoring Penalties against a a single competitor. Is there any plan to fix this?
Scoring a boat as 40% penalty does not always result in the correct score when rounding occurs. For example in a 12 boat fleet 20% is 2.4 which rounds to 2 pts; a 40% penalty is 4.8, which rounds to 5, when it should be two, 2 point penalties.
Z Flag Rule
If flag Z has been displayed, no part of a boat’s hull, crew or equipment
shall be in the triangle formed by the ends of the starting line
and the first
mark during the last minute before her starting signal. If
a boat breaks this rule and is identified, she shall receive, without a
hearing, a 20%
Scoring Penalty calculated as stated in rule 44.3©.
She shall be penalized even if the race is restarted,
or resailed or
rescheduled, but not if it is
postponed or abandoned before the
starting signal.
If she is similarly identified during a subsequent attempt
to start the same race, she shall receive an additional 20%
Scoring Penalty.

Subject: [sailwave] Qualifying option
Hi
I am investigating the possibilty of excluding entirely the results of
boats that have not sailed x% of the sailed races. Having tested the
qualification profile control I find that this seems to exclude the
boats only from the overall results, not from the resutls as they
progress thropugh the series. The purpose of the excersise is to
exclude the occassional “hot shot” who turns out for the odd race in a
club series. If he comes first in that race (but sails less than the
required qualification x%) I want to completly ignore his first and
promote those below him accordingly.
Is there a way to use the qualification profile to acheive this, or is
there some other way?
Many thanks
Chris
