How to Adjust?

Marke,  yep we're on a very tidal estuary, but would say there isnt a correlation to the faster boats within each fleet to have greater movement negatively and the slower boats positively though. ie theyre not spreading out, which is what you'd expect with tidal factors, maybe we have enough racing and equal courses either side of the tide and tide line (as per other discussions about time spent for a fast boat and slow boat punching tide) to balance it out thus rendering it moot?  This is all a theory and would need to crunch the numbers, may be proven wrong yet.

I usually upload all of our clubs series upto the end of the summer series in Sept/Oct. Normally takes me an hour or so for one evening. The only tricky bit is going through PYS and making sure all the class names are written correctly and configs are correct.

.....and thank you for your response

Quick question to you result gurus:

How much time do you spend each week submitting returns and sorting out local adjustment?

We do have about ~15 "all in" races during the year, and we include these in the analysis.  We use average lap timing - and typically the very slowest boats will do one lap less than the fastest.  Are you sailing on tidal waters - that may explain the differences between the two fleets.  We sail on tidal waters, but it is an estuary and competitive boats tend to find ways to avoid the tide.

We review once per year - but in the first year of adjustments we had a six month review as the changes were quite significant at the time.
