The ORC Performance Curve (PCS) ranking metric is now implemented. Two flavors exist, one
as valid up until 2015 with ranking by implied wind and corrected times calculated
using a scratch boat's performance curve; and the current default one valid starting
from 2015, using each competitor's own performance curve to calculate the allowance
based on the greatest implied wind achieved in the race and then computing the
corrected time as the delta between time elapsed and individual allowance.
corrected time as the delta between time elapsed and individual allowance.<p>
In the Regattas/Regattas tab the boat certificates can be managed with a new action
button. Certificates can be uploaded, and certificates can be referenced by URL,
e.g., pointing to the ORC web site's certificate database. Then, the certificates
can be assigned to the boats one by one. Certifiate assignment can be overruled on
a per-race basis in the Leaderboards/Leaderboards tab.<p>
Furthermore, course definitions can be fixed for the ORC PCS rules; legs can be
defined to be "constructed course" or any of the pre-defined types (windward/leeward,
coastal long distance, non-spinnaker, and circular random). Tracking data can be used
to pre-fill leg distance and true wind angle. Desired total course distances can be spread
proportionally across the legs based on their estimated length.
