Sliding Handicap

Hi,

I am new to the program, but think it may fit most of our needs.
The primary reason out club keeps using an extremely ugly
spreadsheet in our unusual handicapping system. I am hoping that
Sailwave may have a way to handle this type of rule:

From our racing rules:

Every time a yacht races and doesn't finish in the top 4 in its
division, the system increases the yacht's rating by 2.
Every time a yacht finishes 1, 2, or 3, it's rating is reduced by 9,
6, or 3 respectively.
A fourth place finish results in no change.

Any suggestions on whether something like this could be implemented
in Sailwave?

Thanks for the help!

Hi Jim,

Have a look at the PH faciliity that is there - early days and try and
figure out what sort of extension to the expressions you would require.
