Discussion: DNF

Greg: If you are trying to emulate the effect of USOF Rankings, go for time limit + 20 minutes for the total run, i.e. adjust your split time for Control 18 so that the total time is 3 hours 20. I hear the (time limit + 20) rule is about to be changed to just not take DNFs into effect, so Ken could probably come up with a checkbox that says "DNF" so that splits could still be entered but the race, not taken into the rankings calculation for the specific individual.

Greg, agreed: please fix the control 18 split since it's inflating the ranking points for everyone else.

but the runkings are not ?

Greg's DNF will indeed inflate the points for everyone else in USOF rankings, just as if his time for the day were 3:20:00. The inflation will be proportionately smaller, since everyone's result will be in the calculation, not just that of the few self-selected people.
