Guidelines for scoring an event
Here are some thoughts on setting up HAL's race Results for an event, such as a
regatta or championship.
Where and when should you compute the results?
How important is it to get the results out fast? Score
at sea, or ashore?
What do I need? This depends on the answer
to the where and when question.
Classes and race schedule As soon as the notice
of race is published, set up the classes and the schedule of races.
As the entries come in populate the
boat register. Publish the latest entry list frequently and correct any
errors that are reported.
On registration day Get
each competitor to check the details of his boat as part of the registration process.
Each day of the event Make entry lists and score sheets
for the race officer's team.
After each race Produce provisional results
and get them
into circulation fast.
Final results and prize giving Produce validated
results.
