GP3S -Basic Rules 2008
Hejs!
Tänkte det kunde vara bra att slänga upp en kopia av Basic rules som gäller på http://www.gps-speedsurfing.com. Så här kommer den:
Basic Rules http://www.gps-speedsurfing.com. Version 7.0 – 01-01-2008
1. Save your track as proof
2. One best run per direction
3. Recommended GPS: Navi GT11
4. Allowed GPS: f.i. Garmin Geko/ForeTrex
5. Settings of the GPS: 1or 2 sec and Doppler if possible
6. Select used GPS in profile and session
7. When using Doppler, post sessions with Doppler
8. Allowed software: GPS-AR, GPS-Results, RealSpeed
9. Linear speed
10. Use only one GPS
11. No interpolation with distance speeds1. GPS Track
A GPS track needs to be available for verification by a (Regional) Time Keeper (RTK) at all times. Even after a year or more the RTK’s could still ask to send the track, so always make backups of the files. This verification of tracks is the basis of the site! Always save the original tracklog file and when you have deleted spikes save this file with a different name (add cleaned to the file name).2. GPS Device List
1. Recommended device: Navi GT11
2. Allowed devices: Garmin Edge, Geko 201/301, Foretrex 101/201, Forerunner and Etrex (Legend and Vista)
See Info & Rules for the more detailed settings.3. GPS used
In the Rider profile it is possible to select the type of GPS mainly used. In the session it is also necessary to select the GPS which is used for the session (when different from the one in the profile). This is very important as we will use this info in the future.4. Doppler
Everyone posting with a Doppler device has to post speeds in Doppler. So far the only recommended Doppler device is the Navi GT-11. The use of a Doppler device is not obligatory but strongly recommended. Especially all top riders are expected to start posting Doppler speeds as soon as possible.5. New Devices
New devices will only become allowed devices after at least 25 comparison tracks have been sent for verification. Comparisons have to be made with a recommended Doppler device.6. Speed Deduction
The expected speed deduction for Geko and Foretrex users will be limited. However the speed deduction for the non Doppler two second top speeds will be substantial.7. Track format
A track must be delivered at the discretion of the RTK in the next name format: YYYYMMDD
Rider Location.gpx or the Navi generated filename is also ok. Please make sure you have your Username set correctly in the Navi. When you have deleted spikes in a copy of the original file than add cleaned to the file name. (example: 061205 John Doe The Spot Cleaned.gpx).
Only tracks in GPX or SBN format with minimum of 6 digits precision are allowed.8. Software allowed
For analysis of a track the following software is allowed:
– GPS Action Replay
– GPS Results
– Realspeed
The software developers will update the software regularly so check the sites or watch the announcements on http://www.gps-speedsurfing.com.for new releases. The following software (for Windows) is allowed to download data from the GPS or convert tracks to another format:
– G7towin (http://www.gpsinformation.org/ronh/)
– MacGPSBabel (MAC)
– Gartrip
Any sessions posted with results NOT calculated via these tools can be invalidated if it is not possible to easily check the results via the allowed software. If it is possible to change the format of the trackfiles used and the differences are very small (to the judgement of the RTK) then a session could be allowed.9. GPS Track Setup:
1 or 2 seconds Interval: The interval is set to 1 or 2 seconds depending on the brand and type of GPS you are using: – 1 second: Navi GT11 and Garmin Edge – 2 second: all other Garmin’s like FT201, Geko, etc. Doppler settings: When a Doppler device is used, it is necessary to use it in that mode. Not allowed settings:
– Distance: This setting is not allowed, because it can give too much variation in the track and we want to have one single setting so there can be no discussion about the speeds.
– AUTO: Never use the AUTO function or save a track in your GPS. This way you will loose valuable track data.
– WAAS: Also do not use the WAAS function. In some areas of the world this has caused problems with the tracks.
Any posted session that is based on a track that has been at AUTO setting, has too much variation and/or spikes can be discarded by a RTK. If you are not sure about a track then first contact your RTK before posting a session.10. Run
A run is when you sail in one direction and per run you can score one speed. A new run begins after a turn (gybe or tack) or when you have stopped. The only exceptions are the
Nautical Mile and one Hour speeds, where turns are allowed. A valid run has no spikes and no strange accelerations. If a spike occurs at the end of a run (because of a crash) the spike may be deleted and the run can count as a valid run. In the GPS analysis software some settings can be set:
– max. Accel. [3 m/s²]
– max. HDoP (5)
– min. Sats (5)11. Rankings
The main ranking for http://www.gps-speedsurfing.com is the Average over 5 runs of 10 seconds.
Although we look at the statistics for the other rankings seriously, they have been added for more fun rankings and can only be interpreted and used as such.12. Session data
When calculating the session statistics it is important to comply to the following rules:
– One best per run
– Linear Speed. (Linear speed means that you calculate the speed over the exact positions a rider has sailed)
– No interpolation of distance speeds
A session consists of:
– Max GPS – Highest speed seen on the display of the GPS
– Max 2 sec – Software calculated highest speed
– 10 sec run – Software calculated average speed over 10 seconds
– 100m – Software calculated average speed over ‘one’ run of minimal 100 meters
– 250m – Software calculated average speed over ‘one’ run of minimal 250 meters
– 500m – Software calculated average speed over ‘one’ run of minimal 500 meters
– 1852m – Software calculated average speed over ‘one’ run of minimal 1852 meters (Nautical Mile), turn allowed*
– 3600s – Software calculated average speed over 3600 seconds
– Distance – Distance sailed during a session
When you post a -normal- session you select the spot, board, sail etc. combo with which you think you have reached the highest max or the best average. So it is allowed to use different boards, sails, etc. on one day. Besides the NM and hour speeds , all other measurements must be filled in when posting a session. If one or more speeds have not been filled in, the session can be discarded. Please also add some remarks or a story of the day. This is very nice to read for the other members of the site.13. Multiple sessions
Multiple sessions per day are allowed
– when they are on different locations and this can be clearly seen on the track
– for multiple boards when they have been sailed after each other and it can be seen from the track or there are witnesses14. Posting a session within 7 days
When posting a session this must be within 7 days when the session has been sailed. When you are not able to do that, please contact first your RTK before posting a session.15. Location
Always fill in the correct location where you have been speedsurfing. It is allowed to give a new spot a name when it is not yet marked at a map or known in the region. Secret spots are not allowed.16. Speed material used
Only windsurfers are allowed to post on the site. Kitesurfers can post their speeds on http://www.gps-kitesurfing.com. Other windpowered crafts like landsailers -/surfers or iceboarders are not allowed. -

Klistra den här tråden direkt. Kan inte bli mycket tydligare om vad som gäller.

Tycker att vi i fortsättningen när vi skickar in en session ska vi skriva i under remarks om vi har använt DOPPLER-Funktion.

Torde väl inte behövas då det det uttryckligen står “has to”:
“4. Doppler
Everyone posting with a Doppler device has to post speeds in Doppler. “Om man lagt in att man har en Amaryllo eller Navi, så ska man posta upp sina siffror med doppler, finns inget att tvivla på för Jester.
-
Japp, Anders har helt rätt. Doppler är ett måste.

Har jag sagt något annat eller?

Då får du förklara vad du menar, Faster… Man anger ju numera vilken GPS man använt. Och har man en amaryllo, så måste man använda Doppler.
-
Man kan välja att inte bocka i den rutan om man så vill. Sen att du måste är en annan sak.

Den som gör det med flit kommer att få klipulver i dräkten, möglig kexchoklad och 7 års allmän olycka + ofantligt massa ovett här på konfen av Getwet och undertecknad i all evighet!

Har du frisknat till???

Tidiga versioner av GPSResults “komer inte ihåg” inställningen vad gäller doppler-valet. Så se till att installera senaste versionen, där den biten är avlöst.

Näpp sjukare än någonsin, bytt antibiotika för 3:e gången, doktorn trodde dock inte att det beror på kallsuparna i svanskitiga-TT-vattnet. Så lugn bara. Men fortsätter det så här så lär det bli rekordtidig rea på Naish hela 2008-sortiment…

Hoppas det löser sig, Anders!

Ja, jag börjar bli orolig inför vår utställning på Haga Park – kom igen nu Anders…

Ja, krya på dig nu Anders… det låter inte alls kul!!! Hoppas nästa laddning antibiotika tar bättre… och att det bara är kallvatten du är resistent mot…
Det är ett mega-partaj vi bokat in på Öland, och det skall ju döpas nya Naish, Starboard och Fanatic brädor på löpande band. Jag tar med mig flaskor vi kan krossa på era brädor. Och eftersom vi fick beställa en vindsurfar-pöjk via storken nu om någon vecka så jag har massor med flicknamn som blev över vi kan använda…
