Tried this all again today.
If I follow Huw's method DNC's are wrong. It gives a DNC to boats that
haven't sailed yet in the series.
The only way I can get it to work with the correct DNC score, using
the SAIL NO WIZARD is to un-exclude boats manually before using the SN
WIZARD. I do this by double clicking on the entry and unchecking the
exclusion tick.
It does seem much more convenient to enter results by double clicking
I tested Huw's method and it worked perfectly...
Just find the right field <excluded> and set as 0 (excluded=1 means
the
competitor is excluded)
