About Burgee – Race Scoring for Sailing Clubs
From the official readme · v2.7.0Description
Burgee is a complete race-management toolkit for sailing clubs that run PHRF
handicap racing.
- Organize racing as Season → Series → Race.
- Maintain a managed list of divisions (e.g. Spinnaker, Jib & Main) and assign
each boat a division and PHRF rating per season — boats can change divisions
between seasons without losing their identity or history. - Enter finish times and let the plugin calculate elapsed and corrected times
using either Time-on-Distance or Time-on-Time, and assign points using the
World Sailing Low-Point system. Choose the RRS A5.2 or A5.3 penalty rule per
series, independent of the correction method. Results remain fully editable
after submission. - Series standings with configurable throwouts (“drop the worst N scores once M
races have been sailed”) and RRS Appendix A8 tiebreaks. - All scoring — both correction methods, A5.2/A5.3, and throwouts — is free.
- Responsive, mobile-friendly public output via shortcodes.
Shortcodes
[wpsf_schedule]— season race schedule.[wpsf_scratch_sheet]— the season’s registered boats by division.[wpsf_series_title]— a standings breadcrumb heading.[wpsf_race_results]— results of a single race.[wpsf_race_details]— course/conditions detail for a single race.[wpsf_standings]— full series standings grid.
Legacy shortcode tags from version 1.x ([SeasonSchedule], [ScratchSheet],
[ShowSeriesTitle], [RaceResults], [RaceDetails], [show_series_standings]) remain
registered for backward compatibility.
Changelog
2.7.0
- New: choose how a DNC is scored. The default is unchanged and follows the racing
rules — one more than the boats entered in the division. Clubs whose Sailing
Instructions say otherwise can now pick “starters + N” (the common “starters plus
2” clause, which ties the score to that race’s turnout so a boat joining later
does not change results you have already published) or a fixed value. Set it per
Racing Series, or per race for a stand-alone race. - New: boats can be added to a scratch sheet mid-season. A boat that joins after
racing has begun is recorded DNC for the races it missed, and the series is
rescored so every boat’s scores stay consistent. Adding a boat before any racing
starts behaves as before. - Fix: a boat left marked “Finished” with no finish time entered was scored zero
points — better than winning the race. It is now scored as a non-finisher. The
same fix covers a division with no start time set. - Fix: on a race that already has results, a boat with no result entered now
defaults to DNC instead of “Finished”. Entering results for a new race is
unchanged. - Change: removing a boat from a scratch sheet now also removes its results for
that Racing Series and rescores. Those results were already unreachable once the
boat was removed; the confirmation prompt now says what will happen.
2.6.4
- Housekeeping: plugin-header cleanup for the WordPress.org directory (removed a
duplicate URI from the header). No functional changes.
2.6.3
- Fix: the result-email setup now only appears with a Pro license. The boat email
address and “email race results to this boat” option, the additional-recipients
list, and the unsubscribe manager were showing in the free edition even though
sending results is a Pro feature. They are now hidden without a license, and any
saved addresses are preserved (never blanked) when settings or a boat are saved.
2.6.2
- Fix: a stand-alone race no longer shows divisions that have no boats entered.
Per-division start times and course distances are now scoped to the divisions
actually racing, on both the admin entry screen and the public race view. - New: result and cancellation emails can now be sent for stand-alone races, drawing
recipients from the race’s own entries (plus your Settings recipients), the same way
series races do. (Pro.)
2.6.1
- Fix: the admin menu icon is now centered in the WordPress sidebar.
- Internationalization and coding-standard cleanups for WordPress.org. No changes
to your data, settings, or scoring.
2.6.0
- New: Stand-alone scored races. Score a one-off race that belongs to no series or
regatta — pick its boats from your registry, set each one’s division/PHRF/sail
number, enter finish times, and publish a results page. It is scored
independently and never appears in any standings. All scoring — including
Time-on-Time and RRS A5.3 — is free.
