Hi, Ralph & Colin.
All this is useful to ME!
I'll maybe score the European Youth Championships 2005 (http://www.tonsbergseilforening.no/) later this summer. So, then I have the ability to really test SW.
Regards, Martin

Hi Colin<BR>
Spent last week downloading results from Kiel so that I can develop some sample data & also test the<BR>
new flights system in SW.<BR>
I have also managed to get a copy of the SIs with a couple of interesting points re the finals:<BR>
<BR>
POINTS<BR>
Gold fleet is simple low points system, Silver is low points plus points equal to number of Gold<BR>
competitors, Bronze is low points plus number of gold & silver competitors etc etc<BR>
I suspect that this is because their scoring system could not handle separate 'fleets' & they needed<BR>
to ensure that 1st in the next fleet was always higher points than last in the previous (higher) - I<BR>
will confirm this when I work through the results.<BR>
This comment is for interest only as SW should not need this as it can 'score by fleet'.<BR>
<BR>
DISCARDS<BR>
The discard profiles (5-7 one disc, 8 & more two disc) are applied to the Qualifications & Finals<BR>
separately.<BR>
This is similar to Add C but easier to understand. I personally prefer this method as it is much<BR>
fairer & simpler.<BR>
I seem to remember that you have yet to deal with this issue in SW.<BR>
<BR>
I feel a bit guilty that I have not tested SW re flights but I am in the process of packing & moving<BR>
house etc.<BR>
I plan to set up and input all the 49er results from Kiel (along with amendments etc) & then check<BR>
them against the published results<BR>
When everything is OK my objective is to create a set of csv files etc & a final blw file so that<BR>
they can be made available on the SW web site. IS THIS USEFUL FOR OTHERS???<BR>
Also, if I have time, I will try & produce the data for both 49er (2 groups) & Laser (4 groups)<BR>
<BR>
In the meantime, monitoring Martin's comments with interest<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Regards<BR>
Ralph<BR>

Hi Jan et al,<BR>
<BR>So the proposal from Anders : "switch to lock the results in a race"<BR>
makes a lot of sense to me but of course I cannot judge what impact it<BR>
would have on the development work. Beeing in the sw business I know<BR>
that there are no easy changes, just a lot of unrealistic demands...<BR><BR>
Version 1.72 can now handle seeding, qualifications and finals flight<BR>
(re)assignments.<BR>

<BR>
Hi all !<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for all the interest shown in this issue !<BR>
Try to answer questions from different posts in one.<BR>
<BR>
Yes I have talked to Anders about it. It took a while before he<BR>
undertood all the finer details of the sailimg instructions but I<BR>
think he has got it know :-)<BR>
<BR>
I dont intend to score 2 sailors the second place without a winner in<BR>
a race. The situation occurs when ( as anders describes ) we select<BR>
all the "worst" sailors from each group of the qualification and put<BR>
them in the bronze final. Probably noone will have a 1st or 2nd from<BR>
the qualification races among these sailiors. Still they will be in<BR>
the same fleet so the current way that SW calulates score based om the<BR>
recorded position will in my experience produce an in this case<BR>
unwanted result.<BR>
<BR>
In the gold group the problem is not so evident. If there are 3<BR>
sailors having 1st in the same race they will all get the score of 1.0<BR>
- no problem. The problem occurs further down at the bottom of the<BR>
gold group where the results are more spread out and even more so in<BR>
the silver and bronze group.<BR>
<BR>
So the proposal from Anders : "switch to lock the results in a race"<BR>
makes a lot of sense to me but of course I cannot judge what impact it<BR>
would have on the development work. Beeing in the sw business I know<BR>
that there are no easy changes, just a lot of unrealistic demands…<BR>
