Board » Sailonline Yacht Club » Ranking Suggestion - Which Race Drops Next?

Posted by Journey Posts 15 Registered at 2008-12-29 04:51:08	2010-03-30 15:11:49 - Ranking Suggestion - Which Race Drops Next?
	I see where we have almost reached the point where we have 30 races counted in the overall ranking, so I would like to resurrect an old suggestion. Is there any way to indicate which races are the oldest, or at least which is the next race to drop off. It's the first thing I usually look at... what finish do I have to replace or can I improve on? Am I about to lose a top ten finish or a DNF? What about the guy I'm trying to pass in the rankings? There might be several ways to implement this. Perhaps there's one that wouldn't be too difficult on the overworked SOL gods? Thanks Bob McDonald "Journey"

	You could go to race archives and see which is oldest.

	I would also like to have that, Journey. The presentation of the rankings could be improved in many other ways. As for many other suggestions, the problem is to find the resources to implement these changes. Francois

	Thanks Francois I thought there might be an easy fix, perhaps just adding the date or race number to the name of each race. Do you know how the chronology is determined? It is not a straightforward lookup as capnjack suggests. Does SOL go by the race numbers (currently around 223) that you see in your address window? The date/time a race begins? Ends? Or is it always in the order they appear in the archive? I'm really not obsessed with rankings but it's one of the benefits of joining SYC, and I think it adds to the fun to know what you have to beat to improve your number. As most of us are not often in contention for the podium, it creates a game within the game, sort of racing against yourself, or racing to improve. Thanks again Bob McDonald "Journey"

	Hello Journey, The chronology is simply based on start date & time. Regards, Francois

Kapiti Chetwodes Race 2024

For only the second time in SOL history, we have the pleasure of inviting you to the Kapiti Chetwodes Race, held in the Cook Strait region.

The approximately 160nm long route, full of turning points, will take us from the bay at RPNYC around the islands of Somes, Kapiti and Chetwodes and back to the finish line at RPNYC. We have only a 26 ft Albin 79 yacht at our disposal. All this means that we will have a lot of fun, so fair winds!
