Default 2011 WINSCORE

I would like it to attempt to match using the competition ID,


This is not correct. *Winscore first tries to match the competition ID
in the log file specificed by:

HFCIDCOMPETITIONID: XX

with the CID entered for the contestant in the registration list.

If no match is found, then it attempts to match the glider ID
specified by:

HFGIDGLIDERID: XX

with the CID entered for the contestant in the registration list. *.

If no match is found with the CID or the GID, then and only then, does
it try an exact match of the pilot's name.

Yes, that would explain the obervation since the log header is:

AXCM0XMFLIGHT:1
HFDTE160411
HFFXA100
HFPLTPILOT:Bergh/Wagner
HFGTYGLIDERTYPE:LS 8
HFGIDGLIDERID:N666RB

There is a conflict in the use of HFGIDGLIDERID for logs that do not
also include HFCIDCOMPETITIONID, since badges and records seem to
require the registration to be entered and Winscore requires the
contest number (or a pilot name match)
