I've spent ... a while ... looking at, and testing bits and pieces of the Freestars code for determining the Advantage point scores for a race.

And my final conclusion is even the basic PRT/LRT code is wrong, even taking into account the PRT/LRT combos that do something extra in combination with other things (mostly TT and NAS). So I can't see how it's really worth trying to fix that part, yet expect the more complicated part of the calculation to be correct.

Nova code appears to have similar problems.

So while there's certainly the problem of me just having it wrong, even at a fairly basic level it's not quite right even before I get into all the variation built in.

Anyway, other ideas and pointers appreciated if you've got them.
