Continuing the discussion about the sail number wizard. Can somebody
explain to me why it would be useful to turn this into a 'any field'
wizard.
My assumption was that results are recorded against sail numbers on the
water and then the sailno wizard can be used for fast entry against those
sail numbers. Are we saying that results are sometimes recorded as helm
name and position/elapsed etc when written down by the race officer?
A lot of boats in our club races don't have sail numbers so we input the
boat name in the sail number field to get the sail number wizard to work.
It would be nice to still have the sail numbers listed on those boats that
have them though.
Also, I notice that a tie in a race has both boats scoring the points for
the position they scored - eg. Two boats tie for second place they each get
2 points. Unless I've missed a rule change somewhere, should't each boat
get 2.5 points as per Appendix A 7 ("the points for the place for which the
boats have tied and for the place(s) immediately below shall be added
together and divided equally")?
Hi Geno,

You can choose between the two methods in Edit+ScoringSystem and then the
RaceScoring tab.
