Poor performance threshold (default 5%)
In some races, there are boats that perform particularly badly. Often this is due
to gear failure or crew problems. If the results from these boats are included when
working out the Standard Corrected Time for the race (see below) they will unduly
skew it. Therefore any boat whose corrected time is more than this percentage greater
than the average corrected time of all finishers will be deemed a poor performer.
Poor performers are left out when working out the Standard Corrected Time. Any boat
whose corrected time is within the threshold is a good performer.

Minimum number of finishers that are good performers (default 5)
You must have a reasonable number of boats finishing a race to gather meaningful
statistics from it. HAL's Performance Analyser rejects any races that have less
than this number of good performers.

Standard Corrected Time
This is the average corrected time of all the good performers. It is the benchmark
time for the race, so any boat whose corrected time is the same as the standard
corrected time has performed exactly to her handicap. Any boat whose corrected time
is less than the standard corrected time has outperformed her handicap and any boat
whose corrected time is greater than the standard corrected time has not performed
up to her handicap. |
