Redress - Appendix A6

We had to use the RDGb code for a redress situation. This functions
correctly for that competitor.

However, the points for other competitors are moved up, which is
contrary to the requirements of Appendix A.6(b)

Is there any way of overcoming this?

(using version 1.50)

Hi Malcom

We had to use the RDGb code for a
redress situation. This functions
correctly for that competitor.
However, the points for other
competitors are moved up, which is
contrary to the requirements of Appendix
A.6(b)

I have been unable to replicate this. Are you sure the recorded positions
are actually changing (they should not - as you say) - rather then the final
overall positiion - which will change as it's just a publishing issue.

e.g.

recorded-pos/points/final-pos

1/1/1
2/2/2
3/3/3
4/4/4

Boat 3 is then awarded redress of 1.5 points giving:-

1/1/1
2/2/3
3/1.5/2
4/4/4

The boat with a recorded position of 2 now has a different final position.

Is this the sort of thing you're seeing?

Alternatively, can you make sure that RDGb is is marked as a 'penalty code'
in the Sailwave list of codes.

If you still think it's a bug, send me the series (The .blw) file and I'll
investigate it further.
