Thanks, Paul. I was hoping for a pre-made brief in a PowerPoint or PDF



format to avoid reinventing the wheel.

Hi Rick,




The scoring program was designed using the scoring equations in the

U.S.


soaring contest rules - which are available on the SSA web site.




Best Regards,

I'm the scorer for our club's annual Task Day cross-country soaring


competition at M-ASA. We use the Regional Sports Class rules for

scoring

using the latest version of Winscore. I've benn asked to lead a

seminar

on

scoring for our membership.




Does anyone have a briefing on the Winscore scoring rules and

algorithms

that they could share with me?




Thanks in advance.

Rick,
Are you wanting to teach folks how to use Winscore, or are you wanting to
teach them what the tasks and measurements are?

The appendix to the rules contain lots of graphics about starts, tasks

and
finishes.

I'd like to teach folks a working knowledge of the SSA scoring rules but
not the inner working of Winscore. Essentially what a competitor should
know before entering his first contest.

I have plenty of referenc material; just hoping to find a ready-made
briefing.
