HMS has been adopted by the RSD for world class events.

The file HMS 2007 Scoring(v2.1)blank.xls, which can be extracted from the zip file HMS2007.zip, (downloadable from this site - see link above) is an Excel workbook specifically tailored to score HMS.

Originally developed by Mike Kemp in Lotus 123 for EORS, it was updated and modified by John Walter to Excel 97 and HMS and since modified, enhanced and kept up to date for HMS by Henry Farley and Herman van Beek.

It does just about everything needed to score an event of up to 84 boats, in 5 heats and 41 races.

It will also handle single heat events where, unlike HMS, Race 1 is treated like every other race.

BASICS OF USE.

Open the file with Excel 97 (see below) or later. Immediately Save As with a name of your choice e.g. MyEvent.

Move to the Score Sheet and enter the details of the event (Event, date, Host)

On the Score Sheet enter Skippers names, their Sail Nos. and other details in the columns provided.

For each Race move to the Race Results sheet and enter Sail Nos. for each Heat in the finishing order.

After any Race you can go to the Score Sheet and click on the Summary Page Print Preview button to print out the current scores and positions.

Alternatively you can click on the Display Page for Print button to view and print the Score Sheet with a full sets of results. You will probably want to use the Sort it to Position order. Itâ is in colour and may be a bit on the small side to fit onto the printer page.
