Results registration in case of a split of a pre qualification trial in Gp A and Gp B
The following was presented to the Board.
Problem:
Gp A runs on competition 1 on Saturday and Gp B runs the same competition 1 on Sunday (same terrain, same type of sheep, same jury, different calendar day).
Option A:
Is the scoring done per day so that we end up with 2 winners of competition 1 and the calculation to 100 points is done separately for day 1 and day 2?
or
Option B:
is the ranking for the 2 days held in the points calculation (group A and group B are combined and cast into one ranking for the competition)? In this case there is in principle only one winner with 100 points and the results of competion 1 are adjusted with the same coefficient.
Decision
The FSB board has decided to go ahead with option B since it is the most fair and avoids that one group is more "boosted" by the normalisation to 100 points than the other group. It is also more in the spirit of the same game being minimally adjusted by spreading it over 2 days. It is also a little awkward that you would have two winners for the same competition without necessarily an ex-aequo of the points.
