How do I set the default discards and scoring for new series?

When you set up a new series it comes with default values for the following:

  • the scoring system (LP, BP, etc) and the embargo policy for results
  • how many points each category of non-finisher (OCS, DSQ, RET, etc.) gets, relative to the number of entries, or the number of competitors in the race, etc.
  • switches that control which fields to display on results pages (boat name, helm, crew, etc.)
  • the table of discards showing how many races should count in the series total for each number of races sailed.

You can set default values for each of these things from the Schedule Menu.
