Hi! This weekend we're going to have flights in an Optimist event, and
I suddently discovered that:
If I Score a DSQ, after finishing all boats by sailnumberwizard, then
the actual boat gets the correct score... But all the other boats are
not "moved up". Actually SW leaves a hole in the list in one flight.
To get around it I need to use Tools+ Rearrange recorded places. Is it
a bug?
I'm using 1.58
Hi Martin
Yes, you use the Tools + re-arrange (don't forget to select that flight only)
I used the tool first to move places up or down & then changed the DSQ to a position, so that it was
not changed.
Colin is aware of this, which occurs (I think) due to the fact that you have chosen to permit more
than one 1st, 2nd etc.
For the first race, I sorted by finishing position to make sure that I had 2 of each
Also learnt after the first mistake, to do regular backups so that I could go back a race if
necessary
Best of luck this weekend
Regards
Ralph

Thanks, Ralph!
Just what I was afraid of..... Have to do manual work.... And think too !
Well, I've tested and it works fine for me. It would be nice if Colin did something about this in 1.59.
So, what do you call this kind of racing? In Norway we call it group racing, since every flight consists of two groups. Its not that much used, because you should have a number of boats to use it.

Martin

We tend to refer to it as racing in flights (or something like that)
It was devised to deal with large fleets when a long start line was impractical.
I first came across it when Toppers stopped using a gate start & needed a practical way of using
fixed start lines.
The Topper event I recently did was for 135 boats & it made managing the start line so much easier.
A variation on flights is when there is a Qualification series (quite often used for larger
asymmetric events such as 29er & 49er) where the flights are set for the day & reassigned for the
next day, based on end of day positions in the Qualification series.
I know Colin enquired some time ago about the various types of flight racing, so no doubt we will
see the system being refined in future releases. I guess he will appreciate any feedback you can
give after the weekend as not many SUG members have come across the need for flights.
Regards
Ralph
