I have run a series through NHC with discards but didn’t notice anything odd happening. I’ll take a look later today and see if I can replicate the issue.

I just loaded the new BETA version to test the NHCscoring system. I set up as a club NHC (not Regatta mode)
for 3 boats in a 5 race series. I set all initial
Handicap’s to 1 and for each race I entered the same start
time and an end time 1 minute later for each boat in all
races,i.e. consistant results for every race. I could see
that the NHC handicap was gradually increasing for the
winning boat, staying the same for the boat coming second
and reducing for the boat coming in 3rd. This all changed
though when the first discard kicked in on race 3.
Suddenly the lead boat handicap returned back to 1 thus
restoring his dominance. What is that all about? When I
read the details of the NHC on the RYA site, I don’t see
anything about changing the handicap if discards are
applied, or maybe I am mistaken!!
