Gordon-- I like it just the way you have it now. For all each of us
knows, the contest might be stopped after 4 or 5, or we might have
trouble ourselves, etc. Plus it keeps a little "unknown" going in
our minds when scores are close.<br>

<div>I would like to hear your thoughts on a couple of issues
about the scoring program.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As you all know my scoring program always shows 4 of 6 rounds
when the standings are reported during the contest. This means
as the event proceeds no rounds will be dropped until we fly the
5th round. </div>
<div>The guys in D7 that use my program would prefer a different
display mode during the event as defined below:</div>
<div>Rounds flown<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:
pre;"> </span>Rounds used </div>
<div>1<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1</div>
<div>2<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>2</div>
<div>3<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>2</div>
<div>4<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>3</div>
<div>5<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>4</div>
<div>6<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>4</div>
<div>To keep things simple I would like to use the same procedure
here in D8, are you all ok with this?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also I have added three normalization schemes to the scoring
program:</div>
<div>1.) Normalize to the maximum round score. This is the default
mode we always use and the AMA rule book mode.</div>
<div>2.) Normalize to the average of all pilots for each round.
This is a mode one of the guys in D7 wants to try, interesting!</div>
<div>3.) No normalization, use raw scores.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So for fun at the contests we can see what the impact would
be of different modes by just selecting each option and printing
the results. I am not proposing that we do it any different than
before but it will be fun to see the affect. I have heard a lot
of speculation about using no normalization so now we can see!</div>

<div>Thoughts?</div>
<div>Comments?</div>
<div>Ideas?</div>
