Small race with 6 boats. One boat was given a penalty of 40% of number of competitors + 1(7*40%=2.8) I would have expected 2.8 or 3 but it shows a score of 7? Is there something I need to change to get it to calculate correctly?
Relatively new to Sailwave but love it.

Hi - Welcome to Sailwave
If you would like to share you Sailwave file (.blw) I’ll have a look for you

One thing I should have added is a penalty is added to their existing score - does that explain it?
Jon
Also, the boat’s score shall not be worse that Did Not Finish (DNF) and this could this explain the score of 7. The scores of other boats shall not be changed; therefore, two boats may receive the same score.

Here’s the file. The other competitor’s scores changed as well. In this instance, the penalty boat came in first before teh protest, Now the penalty boat has a score of 7 and the boats that came in 2nd, 3rd etc all moved up a place.
Hi there… I’m no expert but:
Hope this helps at least to guide you…

The problem is that the boat never had an original finish position. Eg. When I entered her original score as 1st, the SCP penalty changed the race points to 3. (1+round(6*.40)=3 You’ll see that there will be two boats with a score of 3 and no boats with a score of 1.
Here is RRS 44.3©
The race score for a boat that takes a Scoring Penalty shall be
the score she would have received without that penalty, made
worse by the number of places stated in the sailing instructions.
However, she shall not be scored worse than Did Not Finish.
When the sailing instructions do not state the number of places,
the number shall be the whole number (rounding 0.5 upward) nearest to 20% of the number of boats entered. The scores of
other boats shall not be changed; therefore, two boats may
receive the same score.

Thanks for the info. Seems like you are describing an editing issue on my part.
I entered the 1st per the finish sheets, I received the protest form and the used the sail number wizard to change the score from 1st to Scp. What steps should I have followed?

Use the sail number wizard to enter the original finish position. Don’t use the sail number wizard to alter a score to DSQ, OSC,etc, but right click on the cell in question and enter the scoring code. In the way the original position is still maintained.
See below.
