We have various series that last over the summer . They are sailed once a month . there are 7 races in each series. Entering a series there are 20+ competitors not all competing in all of the 7 races. probably each of the monthly races average 10 competitors.
We issue results for the race held in the month;
So if say only 10 race in race 1 (1 of which is DNF) he get a score of +1 (10) from the last competitor. Say Race 2 a similar situation of 10 boats not all the same but say 2 boats are DNF gets 1+ the last finisher in the race. This fine for the individual race but at the end of the series there could be 22 competitors that have raced at least some of the races which will have DNF (DNC etc) scores in their Talley’s of 23. This is resulting in confusion at the conclusion of the series because we have published individual race results that have DNF etc of a much lesser number. I understand that RRS 90.3 (e) does not allow change to race results after a period of time.
How do we get around this confusion.
As a separate question : is there an option to lock results in earlier races to prevent changes that could be inadvertent or because of a change in SI maybe necessitated by the change in rules on 1/1/25.
We race from October 24 to May 25
