After reviewing lap sheets I'm more confused
Our fastest lap was number 3 with an average of 69.87. I didn't let off the throttle the entire race, so other than losing some speed in the turns I can't understand how we broke out. Our boat lacks the HP of most the other boats and runs very consistent, I would have at least expected to see us have the highest lap speed average during the break out lap???
Can someone with more knowledge of the matter shed some light on how to interpret these sheets.
Thanks

I believe this to be correct and the lap sheets don't have the exact length of the course.

Is it me or this isnt adding up right??? What I see needs to happen is the GPS guy needs to give the Cheif Scorer the EXACT COURSE LENGTH via our GPS and then figure these #s out!! Guessing obviously isnt working!! Then all the numbers should be VERY VERY VERY close. And to say the course changes every lap is ludicrist. All the bouys are anchored as well as the start finish boat so there shouldnt be any variables.
OR......We start having an OPA OFFICIAL stand at the pier when we all get back and hand it over right then and there so all the scoring can start asap. No lending out a gps from one boat to another, we have spares to rent out to a 1 timer dont we?? If not, BUY IT!! We had to inorder to race. I see us going in the right direction but there seems to be to many "well maybe's". Lets sit down and make up some rules NOW so next season is a great one so NOBODY can b!tch.

The average lap speed as stated its based on course length so if you enter the length as 4.0 miles but the actual length is 3.5 the calculations don't work. Our currant breakout system however not perfect isn't based on lap times or distance its based on GPS speed over ground. So pretty much the lap times are just for us to look at not be scored on, just my 2 cents.
I wish there Was a way we could race using the same GPS we are scored on. Like the sbi system that you can watch and there isn't any questions as far as how much the OPA GPS and the actually GPS the driver is using?

Listen, we calculated out the lap times, because many have been asking.
The laps were calculated out based on a 4.6 mile coarse. Obviously, the distance is slightly off.
The intent was to give you an idea how consistant you are, or are not thats all.
