Ranking algorithm for race results

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   By popular demand, I have added the capability to rank finishers by their average speed (rather than by number of laps completed and then finish time, as is usually used for cycle racing) to our custom build of CrossMgr.  This is the algorithm that was used by the Merge-o-Matic tool to score the 2020-2022 seasons, and the Spreadseet-of-Doom before that, and is a fairer way of scoring when combining the results of races that are different lengths.
I have now re-generated the results for all races in the 2023 season using this algorithm, and updated the points tables accordingly.  Let me know if anything looks obviously broken.
