A competitor holding a Standard Redress Award will, …not unreasonably,… at some time towards the end of the event check the results table and see what points improvement he/she received in the impacted race.

Remember that Standard Redress awarded points can keep changing as future results arrive.

In the excitement of the moment, if it looks like the redress has not been applied per the Race Committee decision there’s going to be questions !!!!

However, not everyone will remember (experience speaking!) that before the redress is calculated and applied at the defined time, there is one final test to be completed…… “Is the awarded Redress score better/worse than the competitor scored in race itself.” The idea is that as the redress is a result that floats.changes over time, it may come out worse than the competitor actually scored.

In this case, the Scorer should not apply the redress.

TIP : the Scorer’s issue can become how to quickly show any competitor that Standard Redress has been considered but NOT applied because it failed the “BETTER/WORSE than” test. Our suggestion is that if the existing race score is to be left unchanged, it is actually entered in to the system with RDGfix, but at the same value as before. That way, a querying competitor can just quickly glance at the score table and see that the full redress test was applied – and not ask for it to be calculated all over again!!
