Preassign Startpositions by lot for the first start

 script by godie©2005
If you have up to 20-25 starters it is a smart thing to lot the startpositions on ice, but this tool is recommended for greater fleets to save time, cause you don't have to lot with slips of paper on ice and you can start immediatly.  

How to in 3 steps:

  1. Preparation:
    Open a spreadsheet table.
    Make a header with Fleet and Race No.
    Make 3 columns with header 'Sail No.', 'Name' and 'Startposition' like the sample below.
    List your participants with sail no. and name. Come back to this tool.
  2. Play the game:
    Type the number of the participants in this race in the input box.
    Click the 'Play the game' button.
    Mark and copy the complete column of random numbers.
  3. Completition:
    Go to your table from step 1, mark the first cell in the 'Startposition' column and paste it in.
    Print out the table with the sailors and startpositions for the notice board.
