RC points

For RC points, we have tried using "average points (except DNC's)" however
we find a problem with the way Sailwave looks at a DNC when it is a discard.
Hierarchically, it says that anything discarded is included in the average
points even when it is a DNC. Whereas, we meant for a DNC to NOT be
included no matter what.
Example: Race 1 (DNC discarded), Race 2 (DNC kept), Race 3 (4 pts), Race 4
(RC): we meant to provide the racer with 8 pts for the series, but
Sailwave does not. It included the discarded DNC pts.

We are trying to provide the RC (volunteers from the racing fleet) with
points to represent their series performance, without any penalty for not
coming to the starting area.

Any chance that there could be a bucket called "avg. points not including
DNC even when DNC is discarded"?

Hi Bette,

If Sailwave is including DNC for a code set up as average-all-except-dnc
then it's gotta be a bug. I'll have a look...

Bette,

I cannot get 'Average all except DNC' to fail; it's OK here. Can you send
me your series so that I can have a look please.
