Request: Additional high point variable

Hello,

The available variable for high point formulas pretty much covers
what is commonly needed, but I'm missing one basic variable. Simply
the number of starters in a particular start.

Now these two variables are available regardig start sizes:
x - the max start size in any one race
y - the max start size in the race

Could you please add
z - num starters in the start

The z would imo be more useful for a high point system than x and y.
Typically used for a formula like this: 25-(p-1)*(25/z)

Thanks,
Harald

OK

Hi Harald,

Is that not the same as "s"...?
