2009-10-02 17:08:30 - Scoring for DNS
Guys, I thought you said if we register and don't start the race DNS, this would not go against our overall scores. Looking at the SYC ranking for me, several races where counted even though I didn't start. Sometimes I join a race to chat since I don't have time to make the race.

Your ranking is not affected differently on DNS and DNF. They are the same ranking-wise.

So Jakob, If I register for a 1000km race and don't start those miles are not added to my total miles and doesn't affect my ranking?

Correct. If 954 boats race that race and you do not you will get 954 points regardless wheather you register or not.

does this imply that you MUST FINISH every race or loose places to boats that did not start??? e.g.
boats_registered=954;
if (I_finish) my_ranking+=placement;
if (I_DNF) my_ranking+=boats_registered;
if (I_DNS) my_ranking+=boats_registered;
if (! I_register) my_ranking+=boats_registered;

im good for 1 and 3, but 2 and 4 seem a little harsh, and we should look for a way to provide the javaboat need of a "social racer". one who want to participate, but for one reason or another, cant allocate the time to race.

Your points for the race will be equal to your final position even if you don't finish. If you don't start the final points will be equal to the total number of participats.

So starting is always beneficial, regardless if you finish or not.

on the assumption that, at the closure of the race, you are closer to the finish then the DNS boats, yes???

is DNS ranking the same as DNR - did not register??

in a similar topic are DNS boats all assessed the same, or are they ranked somehow??? or is this just complicating a simple solution...

if registered ranking+=placement
if ! registered ranking+=number_of_boats

???

Problem I'm having with this DNS scoring is, sometimes I'm not in a position to race but would like to join in the chat and watch the race. There needs to be a way to do this without being penalized.

Okay, I repeat, you are never penalized for registering for a race. Even if you don't even register it will be counted in the ranking with the same penalty as DNS.

So another way to say it is that you are always penalized whatever you do, as life in general :)

The Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
