	Hi! You all know how that the DTG (and therefor also to current ranking) doesn't work perfect when rounding marks if you're not really close to the mark. Infact, in several races the leader finds himself to be ranked several hundred places down just when passing a mark. In an attempt to make that better I've made a new ranking page for the third leg of SOR and it can be found at http://sailor.raven.nu/112.html It's brand new so it might have bugs but I think it works. The distances are slighty different that the official once but not by much. It's currently generated every 15 minutes. Let me know if anything weird shows up.
Poll: How cool is it? Cool, better than the official Cool, as good as the official Waste of time Show Results (You won't be able to vote.) You need to be logged in to vote.

	Hmm...(12:16 Swe time) Im on 265th position on your leaderboard. 138 on SOL leaderboard. I think SOLs is more right. I have Santacalus behind me in the chart but in front of me on your leaderboard. It shows 691 Nm to finish line, but I meassure around 650. http://www.tangosailing.nu ______________/)_/)___________/)/)/)___ Hometown: Trosa, Sweden Boat: Albin Express, SWE 410

	Right, minor glitch It has been fixed and now reports ranking 132 (135 official) and a couple of nm less than the official DTG.

	Hi, just looked at your ranking. It's ok as long as the boats round the marks at the correct side. For example "skipper85": he is on #7xx at the official ranking, because he left Pulau We on port. You have him on #2xx.

	Thanks, nice catch! I have found the bug and skipper85 is now correctly calculated as 700-something Thanks again.

	Sorry, but i found another one: Your calculation aims at the centre of the finish line, but that is not the shortest distance to the line. so your ranking gets a bit confused now. ciao Bernd --- Last Edited by K3 at 2008-12-22 10:31:10 ---

	yes, and besides it calculates with the coordinates I've taken from the map which could be somewhat wrong. This could perhaps be fixed but not right now I also know that it has some weird things once ppl start to finish but that will be fixed.
