Hi, I am trying to find a way to keep score of all the sailing events
at our club throughout the year.
Our club only has club boats, about 10 dinghies.
We race every thursday night, (30 nights a year) however members do
not always sail in the same boats. We race a few races every thursday
night, allowing for helm and crew to swap. Not all boats fall in the
same class or PY.
What I need is a way to keep track of each competitor, what position
they finished in, what boat they sailed in, and what the PY corrected
position is for that race.
Not all competitors can show up for each and every event, New boats
might be introduced or removed as the season progresses.
I was thinking of awarding points to helm and crew for each of the
races they take part in. The system should then take an average of
all the races to work out who the winner is at the end of the season.
It should however be fair, and not award a competitor that has only
sailed one race the trophy, as his average will be higher than others.
Before I try to design a system like this, I was thinking there might
already be a system like this available. Any comments will be
appreciated.
In Edit+Result you can set a race specific PY value, enabling you to track
the actual PY of the boats the competitors sailing in throughout the series.
You could optionally then use something like the notes field to records the
actual classes sailed etc.
