Hi all,

So on Sunday I'll have a Score-O event in addition to White and Yellow courses for NOD.  I'd like to have the 3 courses count in the standings.  I'll have 2 time windows for the score: 45 and 90 minutes.  Crontols will all be worth the same number of points.

I was hoping soome of you math-oriented types might suggest an algorithm that could be used to convert scores so they can be used in the standings.  Any thoughts?  Let's discuss here.

Hope to see you all Sunday.

John

PS:  Please sign up at http://www.dvoa.org/events/vols/vol.php?sked_id=718 to help out with the event.  I'm also looking for someone to help put controls out on Saturday.  Let me know.

John,

It is great you are hosting an event at Ridley and there is a good chance I will come. It ought to be fun.

But, I would strongly discourage any thought of including a score course in the club rankings. Mathematically you could kludge it, but conceptually it would not be valid.
