Hi Mark,
Well from my non programmers view point... its a matter of creating more
class fields on the registration page and then using them if needed when you
score out fleets.<
True, but I know I'd be asked to score where 'class=x and fleet=y and
club=not(z)...' But essentially yes, that's all it is. Actually a
'formula' column is a great idea, I'll add one. I'll also add some other
generic columns like 'division' and 'group' so that they can all be used to
score across. Please feel free to mention other useful column names for
that purpose. In fact I've just realised that 'formula' could be
auto-populated from a rating file.
I am so tired of racing in 3 boat fleets and declaring... Yeah... we have
one design or we have a formula class. Now 8 boat fleets are declared major
events.<
Over here (UK) we tend to sail cat events on handicap as the major result -
usually ISAF - and then extract class/formula/club/prize etc results as
necessary.
There is a bit of a hoo-ha in EU at the moment about the ISAF F20 rating.
ISAF SCHRS doesn't consider beam whereas Texel does which means the new
Tornado and F20 have the same value (0.94) under ISAF - and the F20s are
getting trounced... to the point that I know some UK F20 sailors that have
ditched them and gone to F18...
Off to the pub now to talk cat sailing...
Regards,
Colin
