Hi Mike,

How's it going?

Where can I download a workable version of Handifast 9.3?
I no longer have any prior versions of this software.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Bill

Trying to bounce back from health issues. And computer crash. Anyway I think I have the coding done and correct to allow users to assign negative values to factors. I hope to have the new upgrade release available sometime over the next few days.

I believe I have the next upgrade ready. Not much changed, just added the capability to assign factors a negative value.

250 points either positive or negative is still the limit. The only thing that has changed is that when you open the build analyst window you will see a new "Negative" button near the top. How this works is, when you want to assign a negative value to a factor, click the negative button and then choose a factor. Then assign a numerical value from 1 to 250 to that factor. The program will turn the number into a negative value if you clicked the button before you chose the factor.

That's it. It will be version 9.5 as there is no 9.4 LOL. Man I hope i have this right. The old brain doesn't work like it used too.. There should be just 2 files to download and paste into your handifast file.

Should have it in PA's hands sometime today.

There's one thing that I dont care for with the Fibonacci approach...

I would like to use this new negative weighing on the ML factor...

but the way Fibonacci works is that only the "TOP4" of each category gets adjusted...

for example:

ML ODDS....8/5 , 3-1, 4-1 , 6-1 , 8-1 , 10-1 , 15-1 , etc

only the first 4 in the group with get adjusted and that 15-1 will not benefit from it and probably move up using this negative approach....

hope it makes sense...

Mike

May I ask what the reason is for weighting the second speed back less than the 3rd speed back or last race speed? I have mine set for decreasing weights from S1 to S3 like 150,100,50. Did you find less importance with S2 thru some experience or test? Thanks.
