Intresting --we have a detailed guideline and ISAF presidents commentary, here being used to apply to porthmouth rating ,-but we in the U S totally ignore the ISAF rating system for small catamarans .
<br>--
<br> For the many reasons expressed in previous posts -[see weight correction factors ] -We should examine an honest comparison of rating systems available -
<br>
<br> -comment from Colin ,-author of Sailwave scoring -in responce to an earlier post ---as follows -
<br> sailwave allows us to score races using the existing 3 main scoring systems ,P -ISAF and Texel -for comparison and objective annalysis would again request that this information be posted on catsailor or made available to all to access ,and again suggested that we start posting results in these various existing rating systems for several major races around the country . Many sailors have downloaded the sailwave scoring system and would enjoy the opportunity to compare and comment on the merits of the rating systems, beginning a meaningfull dialogue, and leading to improved and better rating systems.<
<br>Colin.---
<br>I'll add a facility to change rating systems for real when I get the chance - i.e. change all the values in the competitor details as the rating system is changed (as per the rating system library). Hmmm, could extend it to loop through a list of r systems, scoring as it went, generating some stats...
