Lapping Races

Lapping races are an alternative format where boats sail as many laps as possible in a fixed time period, rather than racing to a finish line.

Enabling Lapping Format

You can change a race to lapping format:

  1. Go to the race detail page
  2. Click Edit or use the format toggle
  3. Change the format from Standard to Lapping

Recording Lap Times

In a lapping race, you record each lap completion time instead of a single finish time:

  1. For each entry, click to record a lap time
  2. Enter the time when the boat completed the lap
  3. Repeat for each subsequent lap

You can change or clear individual lap times if mistakes are made.

Lapping Configuration

The series scoring configuration includes lapping-specific settings:

Display Mode

Mode Description

Lap Correction

Controls how lap times are adjusted for handicap:

Option Description
None No correction applied
Same Rating Correct between boats with the same handicap rating
