I can live with the solution of using divisions. What I was trying to do was take a file that has all our competitors in it that is normally used for our main series races and use a copy of it for one of our “fun” races. I thought I could just redefine the starts and then score by start. It would have been nice but I’ll go back and add a division to every boat in the master file (it will be an extra unused field in most races) and that will allow me to use the same file and just score by division instead of by fleet.
Thanks.
Scoring by start is not hard-wired - you have to engineer it. i.e. put ABC into one division and D into another then score by division. I think I’ve thought about it a few times (score by start) but ran into problems because competitors can change start from race to race… It could be done if they dont change starts, but then they may as well have been in division or something and the starts defined like that, so I didn’t do anything special for it in the end. Still seems to make sense…(?)
We have a file set up with four fleets, each with their own start and
scoring system for weekly races. Once a year we have a race where all
the boats in all the fleets start together and sail the same course and
fleets A, B, and C are scored together and fleet D is scored separately.
Thinking that I could score by starts, I set up the starts for this
race with fleets A, B, and C in one start and fleet D in another start,
but I can't find a way to score by starts.
Because I needed to score the race right away, I went back and added
two divisions with all the boats in fleets A, B, and C in division 1
and those in fleet D in division 2. That worked fine by required
editing every entrant to add a field that has no use in any other race.
Is there a way to score by what start a boat is in?
