Hi there,

I wanted to know is there a way to improve the accuracy of the KG needed part of the score sheet. currently in my testing it is great when you are down to 1 KG but outside of that it can be a couple of kilos here or there. I am running a state competition this this weekend that this will be highly beneficial to overall state champions. I want to let coaches know if its not 100% accurate and more a guide so they don't get caught out.

Is this designed to be 100% accurate or just a guide? Do you have a link to a calculator that coaches can us to be 100% sure.

Thanks,

Grant

Good catch.   The scoreboard is supposed to be fully correct. 
But the formula in the code got a copy-paste curse and is missing a piece, am looking into it.  
So don't use the estimate at all until I publish a fix.

The authoritative calculators are those of Marianne Huebner (she is the H in SMHF).

The issue is fixed in version 59.0.0-rc02  (that's the "I think I'm done" release candidate for the next version).
You can get it using the "Click here to install additional versions" at the bottom of the control panel and using the "Show Prereleases" checkbox.
The rc02 version is ready enough to run a meet.

As it turns out, both the SMHF and Q-Masters "reach for the top" calculations were broken. 
Thank you for reporting, some features are less used than others and bugs go unnoticed.
I added one km to my morning run for penance.

Thanks so much. This will be a huge benefit at our comp on the weekend.  First time using your software.
