Guidelines or formulas for how much water to dump in narrow orweak thermal racing?

I understand...BUT...the leading pilots in Condor simulator racing are all, as best I can tell, holding onto their water as long as possible, i.e. they aren't leaning toward the conservative side. This is probably because it is virtual racing, and no one is going to break a real glider (or their real bodies) if they make a water mistake. If I dump water and they don't, they invariably beat me in the cruise segments and especially in final glide. That's why I was looking for rules of thumb and formulas when racing, as opposed to cross-country. Ben While Condor is an Excellent tool, many people, fly different on Condor than they would or could in real life!
