Hi Malcolm,

Thanks. That is the way I would perform the calculations as well.

If you use a scoring programme such as Sailwave, it will automatically
update DNC to `no. of competitors' + 1, with no. of competitors adjusted as
the series goes on. This is the general interpretation of a `long series'.

Thus a boat that missed the 2nd race ultimately gets 13 points in your
example, but may initially be allocated 11 points in preliminary results.
