YRA Score Reporting with
Bill Thogerson's
Yacht Race Scoring System
Yacht Race Scoring System - "YRS" has been the de-facto standard
for handicap event scoring on long island sound for some time, and the YRA has
asked those who can to submit the scores for their YRA trophy qualifier events
using this system. The program is available from its author, whose address is:
This year's YRA Trophy qualification criteria (having to do with
number of days raced, rather than number of races) requires a slightly different
procedure than is sometimes commonly used. Rather than the "Event Summary" file,
we need "Race Detail" files for each race completed. What follows is the
procedure for generating those files:
-
From the main menu of the program, select #9, "ASCII Files"
-
From the ASCII Files menu, select #2, "Race Detail"
-
From the Race Detail menu, select #1, "Race Detail - Text
Format"
-
You will be asked which race you want a file for. Please
create a separate file for each race (and note their names).
-
You will be asked if you want "class finish order" or "rating
order". Select "class finish order".
-
You will be asked if you want Full or Partial Headers. Select
Full Header.
-
You will be asked if you want Long or Short Skipper Names.
Select Short Names.
-
You will then be asked to confirm that you are ready to create
the file. Make note of the file name and go ahead.
The files created are in the "YRS" directory. When you want to
e-mail them or copy them to a disk, that's where to look (under the file names
you have carefully noted).
The files are small, so you can generally attach an entire
regatta's race detail files to a single e-mail. Please include the filenames and
their corresponding race information (including race dates) in the body of the
e-mail, and put the regatta name in the e-mail title header (so we can figure
out which race we're entering scores for). If you're sending a disk, please
accompany it with a note describing this same information.
If you have any questions or comments, please address them to
Sloop Petersen, YRA Handicap Scorer, either at
scores@yralis.org or in care of the YRA office. Thanks in advance for your
help in getting these scores to the membership in a timely fashion.
Please contact the YRALIS for the
book titled Racing Program
