TOT Scoring

Can anyone tell me what 'A' and 'B' coefficients are for and where
they come from. PHRF-Lake Ontario supplies us with time-on-time
multipliers for each boat. I can't figure out for the life of me why
I can't just input that number into the individual boat data, input
the elapsed time, and click score. Tell me how to, please. I am
using build 3.
Also, is there a comprehensive help file in the works? It sure would
be helpful.

Brian,

I am with PHRF-StLVYRA. Our ratings are such that I can not use the
standard formula sailwave has for PHRF TOT. In our case, it is c = e*r
so I am using the custom rating option. If your ratings are such that
c = e / r then you can use the standard PHRF TOT formula by making A =
1 and B = 0. You can also use the custom rating option and set c = e / r.
