[sailwave] Digest Number 605

Colin,
Are you going to the Dinghy Exhibition, I am sure some of us would like to
meet you face to face as we only see your words, you might even get a free
drink!
Perhaps next year we could have a discussion group there?
I am there on the Flying 15 stand most of the time,
Cheers,
Geoff

Subject: RE: Getting wind index TOT c= to work

Hi Bette,

>Good morning,
I've got c= e*A/B+r in the TOT custom scoring page, plus I put in 3 sets

of

A values separated by comma's and 3 sets of B values separated by commas,
and 3 sets of wind speeds (commas again). But my "Test" shows that I have

a

calculation error so it uses zero.
\Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? <

One thing to check is that the formulas you entered don't have the "c="

part

in them. Other than that I don't know. Can you send me the series so

that

I can have a look at it.

Subject: RE: PBH rating

Hi Greg,

>Thanks for your response. I tried your formula (c=e+r*60) but I am
still getting an error message. It says "Corrected time is being

evaluated

as 0" . See Attachment.<

Make sure the c= part is not part of the formula. Other then that send me
the series and I'll have a look at it for you.

>I have been reading all the other emails on the site. For a lot of
reasons,
I prefer the rating needed to win system that others are using to

calculate

a PBH. I notice that many clubs use the average of this rating over three
races to calculate their PBH in a spread sheet. Are there any plans to
incorporate the spread sheet function into sailwave ie. automatically
calculate the average rating needed to win over the previous three(or any
number) races and insert in into the "override with" rating box? This

would

provide an excellent PBH rating and scoring system in one. I will be

trying

to convince our club to change to this system next season. In this case I
would not need to worry about the custom formula.
The current sailwave program was terrific with our last regatta. It was
worth having just for that. I am still anticipating becoming a sponsor
because as the handicapper and scorer, I can see the value in this

program.

I will let you know how I get on.
Thanks again.<

There is a PH release planned but it's some way down the line at it

stands.

I'll think about the BCH method and see if I can do somehting sooner. See
www.sailwave.com for dev plan.

Subject: Excluded boats

Question: We have a sailing series which a boat is being sailed by the

staff of the sailing club I

belong to. Their boat does not count towards the series scores. Any

competitor who is DNC , DNF ,

DNS gets the number of boats sailing or registered except the staff boat +

the appropriate points

(DNC: Registered + 2 , DNS: Sailing + 2 DNF: Sailing + 1) The staff boat

is not counted as a

registered or a sailing boat. I have been using a made up code which I

manually enter the points.

I cannot adjust the points awarded for each code since another fleet is

scored along with the first

fleet and that would mess up their scoring (If I had DNC be Registered + 1

to discount the staff

boat, it would mess up the second fleet scoring). Is there a way to allow

for the scoring of a boat

in a race without having the boat be one of the competitors or registered?

Can anyone point me to links for the PBH system?

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")?

If you are scoring by the skipper's name, presumably the sail number
is not used - so just enter the skipper's name (or suitable
abbreviation) in the Sail Number column. You can then use the Sail
Number Wizzard as usual, but with names instead of numbers.

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

Subject: Re: Digest Number 604

Colin,
Thanks to all for their suggestions, none were suitable but they made my
grey cells work. My solution appears to work for my requirement and is to
not use the sail number in the <sail number > field of the competitor

field

but just use his name. What made me realise this was remembering that the
computer does not care whether it deals with numbers or characters or
symbols.
Anyway it appears to work and I could just enter the last three characters
of the name , the full name appears and the results appear with the helm`s
name in the sail number column and I just change the column name from sail
number to name and visa versa.
I needed this for Travellers and Handicap series where the helm can use
whichever boat for the series and it his name not the boat that counts,
Cheers,
Geoff

Subject: locales again

Sorry, I should of added that I'm especially interested in working with
somebody in getting a locale working that uses something like a Chinese
character set. As I understand it there are problems with the as it

stands.

hi Geoff,

Yes, at the moment I'm going but that may change. I will seek you out. I
was thinking about having a stand there next year depending on the cost; and
perhaps run short tutorials etc as well as do demonstrations.

Colin,
Are you going to the Dinghy Exhibition, I am sure some of us would like to
meet you face to face as we only see your words, you might even get a free
drink!
Perhaps next year we could have a discussion group there?
I am there on the Flying 15 stand most of the time,

Hi Bette,

I've got c= e*A/B+r in the TOT custom scoring page, plus I put in 3 sets

of

A values separated by comma's and 3 sets of B values separated by commas,
and 3 sets of wind speeds (commas again). But my "Test" shows that I have

a

One thing to check is that the formulas you entered don't have the "c="

Subject: RE: PBH rating

Hi Greg,

>Thanks for your response. I tried your formula (c=e+r*60) but I am
still getting an error message. It says "Corrected time is being

evaluated

as 0" . See Attachment.<

Make sure the c= part is not part of the formula. Other then that send me
the series and I'll have a look at it for you.

>I have been reading all the other emails on the site. For a lot of
reasons,
I prefer the rating needed to win system that others are using to

calculate

a PBH. I notice that many clubs use the average of this rating over three
races to calculate their PBH in a spread sheet. Are there any plans to
incorporate the spread sheet function into sailwave ie. automatically
calculate the average rating needed to win over the previous three(or any
number) races and insert in into the "override with" rating box? This

would

provide an excellent PBH rating and scoring system in one. I will be

trying

to convince our club to change to this system next season. In this case I
would not need to worry about the custom formula.
The current sailwave program was terrific with our last regatta. It was
worth having just for that. I am still anticipating becoming a sponsor
because as the handicapper and scorer, I can see the value in this

program.

I will let you know how I get on.
Thanks again.<

There is a PH release planned but it's some way down the line at it

stands.

I'll think about the BCH method and see if I can do somehting sooner. See
www.sailwave.com for dev plan.

Subject: Excluded boats

Question: We have a sailing series which a boat is being sailed by the

staff of the sailing club I

belong to. Their boat does not count towards the series scores. Any

competitor who is DNC , DNF ,

DNS gets the number of boats sailing or registered except the staff boat +

the appropriate points

(DNC: Registered + 2 , DNS: Sailing + 2 DNF: Sailing + 1) The staff boat

is not counted as a

registered or a sailing boat. I have been using a made up code which I

manually enter the points.

I cannot adjust the points awarded for each code since another fleet is

scored along with the first

fleet and that would mess up their scoring (If I had DNC be Registered + 1

to discount the staff

boat, it would mess up the second fleet scoring). Is there a way to allow

for the scoring of a boat

in a race without having the boat be one of the competitors or registered?

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")?

If you are scoring by the skipper's name, presumably the sail number
is not used - so just enter the skipper's name (or suitable
abbreviation) in the Sail Number column. You can then use the Sail
Number Wizzard as usual, but with names instead of numbers.

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

Subject: Re: Digest Number 604

Colin,
Thanks to all for their suggestions, none were suitable but they made my
grey cells work. My solution appears to work for my requirement and is to
not use the sail number in the <sail number > field of the competitor

field

but just use his name. What made me realise this was remembering that the
computer does not care whether it deals with numbers or characters or
symbols.
Anyway it appears to work and I could just enter the last three characters
of the name , the full name appears and the results appear with the helm`s
name in the sail number column and I just change the column name from sail
number to name and visa versa.
I needed this for Travellers and Handicap series where the helm can use
whichever boat for the series and it his name not the boat that counts,
Cheers,
Geoff

Geoff,

>Thanks to all for their suggestions, none were suitable but they made my
grey cells work. My solution appears to work for my requirement and is to
not use the sail number in the <sail number > field of the competitor

field

but just use his name.<

Two or three people did suggest that...

Subject: Locales

Hi,

If anybody out there is using a Sailwave locale I would really appreciate

it

if you could donate it for others to use. All donated locales are
attributed to the translator.

Subject: locales again

Sorry, I should of added that I'm especially interested in working with
somebody in getting a locale working that uses something like a Chinese
character set. As I understand it there are problems with the as it

stands.

I was thinking about having a stand there next year
depending on the cost;

Cost = horrendous!

I had to look at commercial stand prices a few years back when we
wanted a bit extra space for the Cherubs, and the rate was
spectacular!

Its funny, my other half is into dog showing, and there's an annual
event the Kennel Club (who the dog showing people are forever
whinging about) put on, which is roughly equivalent to Sailboat - all
the breeds have a stand to show off their dogs. Except that the stand
is free, including furniture and stuff, and the exhibitors even get
vouchers for free food. I guess they must get a lot more paying
customers than sailboat, but I sure get envious when I see what
perecentage of the class budget the show represents...
