In the attached blw, fleet Event 11 - Medium Handicap, R4 I reinstated Buzz 939 from DNF. Rescoring has given him the correct place but doesn’t appear to have calculated his and subsequent points correctly. What setting am I missing?
Sailwave 2.25.10
Hi Richard,
You are not missing anything. Scoring code SCP for Wayfarer 11129,
gives a penalty to that boat but does not change scores for other
boats. This is correct behaviour if scoring as standard Appendix A
and RRS 44.3(c).
Also you might want to update your version of Sailwave to version
2-28-1 as I do not think the version you are using actually does
the calculation correctly according to the latest RRS 2017-2020.
There was a subtle change in RRS 44.3(c) between RRS 2013-2016 and
RRS 2017-2020
**RRS 2013-2016 RRS44.3(c)**
... nearest to 20% of the number of boats entered. ....
RRS 2017-2020 RRS 44.3(c)
… the penalty shall be 20% of the score for Did Not Finish,…
This basically the same for a short series/regatta but for club
racing it could make a big difference
Kind regards,
Huw

Thanks, Huw.I just spotted that myself. Lesson - don’t listen to competitor complaints without doing a thorough investigation first!
