Shannon, I agree. Over the years, I have worked with IMS, IOR, IOMR, PHRF, DPN,IMS, IRC & have fiddled and researched SCHRS.
Any measurement based system will be more accurate than any performance based system; especially when one is not regularly updated. Every year, I submit results to US Sailing for the Wednesday Night Races, which comes to almost 1,000 results. It is a major chore and time suck to get a response. Overall, I prefer a system with wind based ratings. THAT will be more accurate than any of them. But, it has to be used. Many of the ratings in Yardstick have not been updated in 20 years. I have gone through and rescored every race last year with SCHRS and Yardstick. I have already submitted these to the powers at be to evaluate and discuss. I am running GBCC this year with SCHRS. The biggest issue I see with SCHRS is the singlehanded factor, but I understand they are evaluating that. It is different and people are usually leery of different. It’s a system that rates a boat to its measured numbers instead of how the boat was raced years ago. I have transitioned several organizations and areas into updated rating systems and am willing to help in any way. > On Feb 24, 2019, at 6:37 PM, Galway, Shannon <[email protected]> wrote: > > SCHRS is miles above DPN.
