AND… if he has to count a DNC, then surely he hasn’t one enough races to qualify…

Hi Keith,
If a competitor has an undiscarded DNC in their results - then yes it’ll affect them, but apart from pathological examples is that a problem in practice…? I would have thought that if you’re carrying a DNC, the chances are your position isn’t going to be very good anyway… except as I say in pathological examples… i.e. 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,DNC,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 with just a few boats racing.

Off the hip, without working it through (earning a living at the moment!), won’t giving a high value to DNC affect those who do qualify, but nevertheless may score DNC for one or more races in which they do not compete?

Hi Keith,
I note that Sailwave scores points/positions for all entrants in a series. Where a minimum number of races must be sailed to qualify, can Sailwave, at the end of a series, show only points/positions for those who have qualified, whilst still displaying positions in individual races for those who have failed to qualify? <
This is something I beaten up about quite often :-) It's on the list todo but I can't give you any estimates. In the mean time you could set DNC to a very high value, which effectively has the same effect.
Regards,
Colin J
