Has the feature to drop a day been left in WINSCORE?


Hey Ron,

I don't think so. I believe it's a relatively simple work-around, though obviously automated is always better. I remember you and I ended up in a useful discussion about racehorse starts a few years back that ended up as not practical to try manually - and you and Bruno are more up for trying things than most.

It's the classic chicken-egg problem - how much coding to ask programmers to do on spec versus how much effort to ask scorers to go through just to try out innovations in how contests are scored. It's a giant doom-loop without some effort somewhere.
