Miscellaneous

• Regatta Scoring Program
  A comprehensive computer program for Regatta Scoring and Race Management. There is no other program available which even approaches the versatility and speed of this program. A menu option is included as an integral part of the program which automatically creates web pages for posting race results on the internet. The program includes the ORCA (Observed Results Computer Analyzed) optimized time correction method. This method statistically analyzes the elapsed times and ratings of finishers. In turn this produces time corrections which are considerably more fair than the corrections obtained using either time on distance or time on time. The program makes all known (known to me, that is) time correction methods available, so you don't have to use ORCA if you prefer not to. Time correction methods are selected from a menu when defining individual divisions. In time, given a fair chance, ORCA optimized time corrections will become the universally accepted time correction standard. ORCA corrections are fair. The larger and more varied the fleet, the more dramatic the improvement in race results when ORCA is used. If you enter a regatta, and don't know what kind of conditions to expect, you can be assured of having a fair chance if the time correction method to be used is ORCA. This is not true for time on time or time on distance, as results using these methods are quite dependent on conditions on the race course, and not necessarily on how well the boats were sailed!
