Speed Ratings

Just a quick heads up...

I know that I said that I'm taking today off and I am.

But I've just watched the ratings being compiled and, as a result, I shall be taking the Speed Ratings offline for the next week or so.

This will mean that you will get your ratings and system selections earlier.

There is something weird going on with the computation of the speed ratings and they seem to be taking far longer to compute than they used to.

This could be why the ratings didn't work/were late on Saturday.

I need to go through the code and sort this out.

However, as a result of this, there will be a new (and additional) format for the ratings - I'll call this the Expert Ratings which will look like the Speed Ratings but won't have the speed figures. It will have additional features such as breakdown of Class 1 racing form by Grade; in other words, it'll be the normal ratings but with a whole lot of extra features added in.

As I promised before my Mum's passing, I shall be moving the speed ratings computations to an earlier spot in the morning and, once this is done, I'll put the speed ratings back on line.

It just seems wrong that those of you who don't need (or use) the Speed Ratings should have to wait for the normal ratings (and system selections) whilst the speed ratings are being computed.

As always, your thoughts and comments are very welcome.

My kindest regards
