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.

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.



Rick
