Ah, good spot.

What's happened is that in feeding SeriesMgr's results back into itself to create the meta-series it's taken the ranking and allocated points as per the usual algorithm (1000, 900, 810, etc), rather than preserving the total (it thinks it's loading a list of race times, and knows nothing of the points).  Since the tie-break rule has put Dan ahead of you in the table, that gives him an unfair advantage in the meta-series.

This is going to be a non-trivial thing to fix (I can think of two approaches, the merits of which require careful consideration: Giving it the ability to load a list of points would be simpler, but maybe the time would be better spent on proper support for 'events', as that could further streamline the workflow), so it's going to take some time to program and test.  Bear with me...

I've put a placeholder page up for now.

Actually, the numbers should be correct if I just add all the rounds individually, so that'll do for the moment.

It's the best-n calculation that's the problem, so I've got until Darley Moor to teach SeriesMgr how to deal with Events properly.

I have never participated in a race organized by the British Human Power Club, and I have some questions, such as what the rules and requirements are for participants. I am also interested in learning more about the route of the race and what kind of experiences I can expect from the race itself .

Starter for 10:

http://www1.bhpc.org.uk/how-to-race-with-bhpc.aspx  (Link is to the old website, as this page isn't on the new one yet)

Basically, something human powered (our electric-assist class is currently suspended due to insurance issues) that's safe to use on the track (ie. has a brake and no sharp bits).  Magic hats are a requirement, gloves and elbow pads may be sensible.

No particular requirements for adult participants.  Juniors need to be of an appropriate age and have parental permission.  Importantly, there's no requirement that you be in any way athletic, or a member of British Cycling, or any of that rubbish.

Details of the tracks should be linked to from the events list, but they're usually closed circuits of good-quality tarmac somewhere around a mile in length, with mostly gentle gradients.

https://www.youtube.com/@LordHostis/videos  Has some good-quality videos of many of our recent races, albeit from the perspective of a more athletic rider at the top of the Unfaired class.

Video from 360 camera on the fast hairpin at Odds Down - slow race. The 360 field of view unrolled into a flat 180 degree view. Took a while to sort this one out as video file was reading corrupt and I had to find a program to fix it.  I then stitch the two 180 images together into the 360 view as the camera no longer recognised the file! Phew! Don't fancy doing that too often.

Individual screenshots taken from the 360 video if anyone wants one https://photos.app.goo.gl/QTjLryqLqEM3sLG57

Hate to say it, but the dandylion is the star of the show...

(I always love the audio on these when listened to with headphones.)

Wow, wonderful 180°. I know how tricky editing this stuff can be as I have a QooCam 4k 360. Thank you.

@kim - yes the Dandelion makes it for me too. Took care not to crop out. Forgot to check if stereo channels the right way around...

@martin - ooh, QooCam 4k 360 - nice bit of kit from what I've seen on YouTube reviews. I'd love to check it out sometime if we're at the same race.

I have, I think, taught SeriesMgr how to deal with Events properly.

This isn't going to have any noticeable effect on the scores until after Darley Moor, as there won't be any races to ignore, but it does remove a step in the workflow to generate them.

Except for the Shiny! New! events total columns in the championship table.  These can be toggled on and off with the radiobutton at the top of the page, and sorted in the usual manner.  Hopefully someone will find that useful and informative, or at lest that it makes the table more pretty and colourful.

Nigel yes you can have a look/borrow of the Qoocam. I have 2 of them!! They are the earlier version with the back to back lenses, not the one that does 3d though, (now they are smart-refocusing after you'd done the shooting). I'll charge them up for Stourport, may rig one up for the trike.  
Martin.
