Race ties

Imported from Yahoo
1

When I was testing the new medal race facilities, I used the Laser Radial
Holland Regatta data from here:-

http://hollandregatta.org/2006/results/output.asp?Top10Class=&Top3=&Top10=&I
DClass=RES2006_LASR&IDOlympic=&MetricVal=2&Show=

Essentially in the last race the top 10 have a medal race (x2,
non-discardabl;e and series ties broken on M) and everybody elase has a
normal race with normal tie-breaking.

And got different results:-

http://www.sailwave.com/results/sailforgoldtest.htm

The differences are because of race 4. There is tie for 19th place.
Holland have scored it like this:-

BoatA 18th 18.0
BoatB 19th 19.0
BoatC 19th 19.0
BoatD 20th 20.0
BoatE 21th 21.0

And Sailwave has done:-

BoatA 18th 18.0
BoatB 19th 19.5
BoatC 19th 19.5
BoatD 21th 21.0
BoatE 22th 22.0

I could understand:-

BoatA 18th 18.0
BoatB 19th 19.0
BoatC 19th 19.0
BoatD 21th 21.0
BoatE 22th 22.0

But surely the Holland variation is not Appendix A; Boat D is the 21st boat
to finish, yet is getting points for 20th place...??? Bug or variant I need
to handle...?

Colin,

The result of the Dutch could also be a RDG, for boat B or boat C.

A 19th place given to one of these boats should not affect the points of the others.

Hi Phil,

Good point; I didn't think of that. They do use "RDG" elsewhere though, so
perhaps it just is the way the SIs defined tie breaking...

Cheers,
