Scoring system query

Hi,

I am new to Sailwave, and just getting to grips with how it all works.

We are a small club and run three 21 race series (Spring, Summer and Autumn) with the best 7 results to count in each series - but if the results are then tied, the 8th, best result (and if still tied then 9th, 10th etc.) best result is then taken into account.

Is there an easy way to build this into the scoring system through the edit scoring system option or any other way?

I’d be grateful for any help.

Many thanks.

Stephen,

  Sailwave should just handle things as long as you are using the

standard RRS tie breaking rules.

Kind regards,

Huw

Thanks Huw,

Just got my head round how the discard system can be modified. Luckily my wife is a maths teacher and has a more logical brain than me!

Stephen,

Can i ask you to share what you mean by " how the discard system can be modified" Please as i am still learning Sailwave.

Thank You

John

For a 21 race series, if you enter an expression into the discard
profile (after deleting the default series of zeroes, ones) s-r
and then enter 21 for s and 14 for r, the result of this
expression (as can be seen by clicking the Test box) is 7.

  I don't think you can automatically set up an increase in the

case of ties, just decrease r to 13, 12 as required.

Hi everyone,

  Discards and tie breaks are separate and not linked.  You set

discard profile independently of tie breaking.

  The first level of tie breaking uses non-discard races but if

there is a tie the second level tie break procedure is brought
into play.

A8 SERIES TIES
A8.1 If there is a series-score tie between two or more boats,
each boat’s race scores shall be listed in order of best to worst,
and at the first point(s) where there is a difference the tie
shall be broken in favour of the boat(s) with the best score(s).
No excluded scores shall be used.

  The second level of tie break procedure takes into account

discard races.

  A8.2 If a tie remains between two or more boats, they shall be

ranked in order of their scores in the last race. Any remaining
ties shall be broken by using the tied boats’ scores in the
next-to-last race and so on until all ties are broken. These
scores shall be used even if some of them are excluded scores.

  Sailboards have a different tie break procedure which is

documented in RRS Appendix B

Kind regards,

Huw

The Jumbles S.C. SI indicates a non-standard method of tie
breaking. For this case, should the default series tie options be
unchecked?

Hi Malcolm,

  Thanks for pointing out possible non-standard tie break

procedure. I have had a look at t he Jumbles SC web site and could
not find a copy of SI’s. Perhaps the original poster could let us
have a copy to see what they say.

  I am not sure what Sailwave will do if you uncheck the tie break

procedures as I have never had circumstance that uses anything
other than standard RRS Appendix A 8 or for Sailboard Appendix B.

Kind regards,

Huw
