Hi Martin,
Colin: You have to think about implementing "everything", or only
what RRS(+) includes..... Otherwise Sailwave might become
ENORMOUS, and not so user-friendly....
Yes, I do worry about it. Interestingly, when I started Sailwave, I made
the incorrect assumption that scoring club racing would be easy and scoring
World Championbships (etc) hard - it is in fact the other way around. It
was true at out club too - we had all sorts of wonderful little rules but
when asked nobody actually knew why they existed! - so we just simplified to
AppA (where long series style DNC is mandatory now for long series, although
"long" is not defined). The same sailors still win...!
I would *love* to say that Sailwave just does AppA but I don't think i could
get away with it... 
Regards,
Colin

Appendix A 8.2 (old A8.3) will solve the ties.
In special "club events" where you expect people to enter only 9
of 24 regattaes, it would be better to join the latest
regattaes..... So, to "solve" this "problem" you might find A 8.2
"unfair", and the method in your SI's might be more fair:"in
favour of the boat with the best discard"

Hi Colin et al
We have the same situation for resolving series ties in our club
(Chipstead).
The use of discards to resolve ties is pretty common because
the ISAF rules
in Appendix A simply do not work well for long series where
many discards
are allowed. For example in our club a typical summer series
runs over 24
weeks of races but we require only 9 to count.
Our SIs say that "Ties will be broken using ISAF rule A8.1 and,
if scores
remain level, in favour of the boat with the best discard. Successive
discards will be examined until the tie is broken."
This method works much better than the ISAF method since the
latter assumes
only a small proportion of the races may be discarded.
Regards
Geoff

Hi Ian,
Can you tell me exactly what the SIs say. Do you mean that
your first tie
break is to score the series normally but include discards. If
so I could
add that; it's a good idea. Personally I don't like discards at all; I
would like to see all events sailed without them... 
Be useful to see the SIs anyway.
Regards,
Colin
