Description During the execution of our LS single sided rule the drivers who DNS whilst being recorded DNS got zero points, or appeared in that position on the round printout, rather than at the bottom. When the final 2 from 3 rule was executed the DNS was dropped correctly but until the final round the ranking list at the end of rnd’s 1 and 2 had the DNS driver in the higher position as it appeared it was being summated as zero points.

Sep 8, 2020 9:41:42 AM Felix Romer I have attached 4 pdf files which hopefully show the dns issue I’ve seen, like I say I don’t recall changing anything to give DNS drivers zero points.

2020_NVR_summer_series_largescale_2WD_dns_points - this shows Darren smith ranked 4th with DNS shown as DNS (-) rather than DNS (Number)

2020_NVR_summer_series_largescale_4WD_dns_points - this shows Warren Beasley ranked 3rd but DNS is shown as DNS (-) rather than DNS (Number)

2020_NVR_summer_series_largescale_end_of_round_dns_points - comparison at the end of the qualification - ranking list for 1/8th (combined) and largescale (combined but with running own class qualifying, finals)showing the differences in how the DNS is handled.

2020_NVR_summer_series_end_of_finals - this shows Warren Beasley starting in third in the limited 4WD final which I missed in the overall ranking but due to the non-runners it did not affect the final.
Sep 8, 2020 9:43:55 AM Felix Romer I checked the ranking list over the debugger and have seen, that RCM has assigned "-1" points piltots with no results. This has been done as a check has been done before if all heat of the given heat cycle have been started - what returns "false". Did check then that function which checkes the heat cycle and have seen there, that RCM has checked if it's a "combination section" and has in that case used the parent section for this check. And as there are in fact 2 empty qualy groups, the check has return true. Have now adjusted this function in order that it will check the rule of the parent section, and if it's set to "together", then it will use the parent section - and otherwise if "separated", then the given section. With this change, the points assignment in case of DNS is different. In ASC mode it will be " MaxQualyPointsAsc + 1". Now "Smith Darren" has 14 points instead of "-" (see attachment). The "-" point would be, if not all heats of the given heat cycle would have been started.
