Series Won't Score

Imported from Yahoo

Hello again

Yesterday I set up a series of four races for our keelboat fleet who are holding a two handed race series. There are only four entries and each boat has a custom rating number such as 0.820 or 0.898.

Problem when I chick on the score button it gives the placing's as they crossed the line and if I view corrected times the times shown are the elapsed times not corrected times. Obviously I have missed something in setting up but I have been over and over it a dozen times and can;can't find where my problem is can any one help me?

Cheers Wayne Nolan

Hi Colin

Some one had use custom rating or set it to that and as there was no formula it didn't work, when I changed it to TCF every thing was Ok

Thanks Wayne

Is anyone using Sailwave to calculate results based upon the Cox-Sprague high point system?

5

I initially asked for Cox Sprague scoring in sailwave. Based on the
debate between Rinderlee and Cos Sprague scoring systems on the net, I am
very satisfied with using the High point scoring system as per Rinerllee
already in Sailwave..

I learned a lot in in the process and I am confident that the Rinderlee
scoring serves the membership of my club CRAC well.

Thanks Colin
Mark

Hi Mark,

I fully intend to add the C-S table to Sailwave. Whereas Rinderle B is non-linear WRT both fleet size and postion, C-S is only non-linear WRT postion and linear WRT fleet size (or the other way round - I forget), so it's a needed alternative to try out. Nobody has come up with a algebraic representation of C-S so I'll just add the table as it stands.

I'll also add percentage of perfection as a 3rd overall series score option (to go with sum and average) so that it can be used with any scoring system, not just C-S; as discussed some time ago on the SUG, and before it appeared in other scoring software!

Colin...

Thanks for the response. The purpose of my question was as follows.

Next year we will be starting an inshore sailiung championship in Southern California. The series prizes will be awarded based upopn the results from the four major regattas, about (22 races). I have loaded the results from last years regattas into Sailwave and was trying to find the best way of scoring the series.

There are obviously numerous methods of calculating the winner.

1. Import each of the four regattas as a single result into an overall series, or import each race into the overall series.

2. The scoring system, low-point versus high-point. Then which flavor of high-point.

What was looking like a complex problem has proven to be very easy with Sailwave. The question about Cox-Sprauge was initiated becasue I was trying to compare it to the other high-point methods. I believe Rinderle B will work just as well.

Does anyone on the list have experience of scoring a similar series? Any thoughts on the best approach?

Thanks

Mark & Colin
If you look on the Chipstead website you will see all of our main series
results (for dinghy class races and various handicap series) scored by both
the conventional Low Point method and the CHIPS High Point system over a
whole season. These were scored in parallel for the whole year as a trial
comparison on order to allow a decision to be made as to whether to adopt
the scheme.
The outcome is that Chipstead (at a recent AGM) has decided to formally
adopt CHIPS for the 2005 season for all our races and this will be reviewed
at the end of 2005.
CHIPS was derived from the principles of Rinderle B but some important
modifications were introduced to improve it, as detailed (in abbreviated
form) in a presentation I gave and this is also available on our website
(but of course this emphasises principally Chipstead specific issues).
I think that if you look at the presentation you will be able to see why it
is considered that Rinderle B would benefit from some improvements and to
achieve those improvements I have derived a formula that contains a number
of constants that give the formula some flexibility to make further
adjustments should we desire this in the light of experience.
As Colin has mentioned, Rinderle B is non-linear in regard to changes in the
number of starters, he also points out that it is non-linear in recognising
it is more difficult to beat helms at the top of the fleet. Well Rinderle
is almost like that - in reality it is linear from positions 2 to last, but
with an increased jump in points from position 2 to 1 (only).
For CHIPS, for which the points are generated from my general formula, I
have decided that the steps in points from position to position should
remain constant (i.e. a linear approach) and I have done that this year for
simplicity, something desired by our members who were not keen to adopt
something they could not understand. (It is of course non-linear for
various numbers of starters). However my CHIPS formula is 'general' in that
it caters for non-linearly in both dimensions and one can therefore adjust
the formula and the linearity to suit whatever is desired. The values of
the parameters that are considered optimum are also given in the
presentation.
You will also be able to see where CHIPS includes a further improvement in
which the last position (and likewise therefore all intermediate positions)
is also made a function of the number of starters (i.e. more points for
fewer starters), to achieve a less aggressive outcome.
When/if you look at the High Point (CHIPS) results that are published on the
website please be aware that I will soon be gong live with an improved
printout which will show the actual positions for each race rather than
showing high points within the body of the table, since the latter is more
difficult for some members to understand. The intention is to also include
some information that assists with tactical planning, related to the effect
of making discards.
The Chipstead website is www.chipsteadsc.org.uk

Hope this is the sort of information you were seeking

Colin:

Actually, Cox-Sprague is non-linear in both respects, the points
increment grows as one approaches the top of the fleet and
the value of each race in the series (points for 1st) varies with the
number of participants in that race...

Mike McKeever

<snip>

Whereas Rinderle B is non-linear WRT both fleet size and postion,
C-S is only non-linear WRT postion and linear WRT fleet size
(or the other way round - I forget), so it's a needed alternative
to try out.

The CHIPS scoring sytem looks exactly like what I've been looking
for. Has it been incorporated into Sailwave?

Here is what I'm facing, as a clube we race Radio-Controlled
sailboats. We do this through spring and summer on Mondays and
Wednesdays. I need to score Mondays and Wednesdays as different
series...each series would be scored as monthly series as well as
for the full season. We also combine the Mon and Wed together as an
overall series.

Here is the kicker...the number of sailors as well as the number of
races each night differs. Depending on the conditions we can run
anywhere from 3 to 12 races a night, with sailors joining and
dropping out through the night. Our Mon/Wed series therefore can be
made up of 125 or more races, with a combined total of 250 or more.

My biggest questions...is CHIPS incorporated into Sailwave and how
do I get started?

Hi Colin

With so
much to do you have probably forgotten the various exchanges we had a few months
ago on CHIPS (Chipstead High Point Scoring) which we have now run for a full
year at Chipstead SC. (Our exchanges were at the time you were preparing your
technical paper on scoring systems and I sent you the full formula which is patricianly
useful since it includes parameters/constants that can easily be changed should
that be desired for software implementation.)

CHIPS was
developed along very similar lines to Rinderle B but overcomes a number of the
latter’s undesirable features and I believe it to be somewhat fairer.

As it happens
we are now reviewing the 2005 summer results and I am currently producing a
very detailed analysis of how CHIPS has turned out in practice at our club. I am just preparing a talk I am giving
at our club this Friday which compares the results of 14 different long series
that have been run over the season, including explaining the differences from
conventional Low Points scoring and analyses whether the results turned out to
be fairer in practice. This appears
to be coming out extremely well for CHIPS in that the system seems to be fairer
than LPS and picks up some interesting nuances.

Our club
website http://www.chipsteadsc.org.uk/
gives all the details of how the system works, including the formula and also
shows comparative results for all our series. My talk will be loaded onto the Chipstead SC website within
the next 2 weeks (after I have given the presentation itself).

Regards

Geoff
