When the powers that be were trying to work out the overall Summer Series Results for the prizegiving at Grafham, it went somewhat awry.
One reason was that there was a misunderstanding as to how to calculate the overall results, as opposed to calculating the winners, if any, of the Unarig and 2up Fleet and the Sport Fleet trophies - now sorted.
The other reason was that no-one seemed to realise that you had put links in the online Series Results to switch between the Overall (Handicap) Results to Date and the Unarig and 2up Fleet and the Sport Fleet Results to Date which latter are the first to appear, in that order, when a user clicks on a link to the Series Results (to Date until Final). Had this been known, both sets of online Results pre-Grafham could have been printed off and brought to Grafham, and used separately for the required 3 different purposes - the series results could then have been quickly and accurately computed by hand.

Hi guys
The cock-up at the prizegiving was entirely mine. I should have spent a bit more time on it. Having said that I had failed to note the facility to change to the handicap order on the website - it is much easier to reorder it before printing - I was using the fleets display.
I won't do that again.
On the general website design, like George I have got to know my way around it and find it easy to use. I think it remains one of the best websites in the sailing world. Having said that if you (Martin) think that there is a better/ more up to date way that the same info can be presented and that you want to experiment with then feel free to give it a try. People will soon complain if they don't like it.
Cheers
Bob
