How do you assign a Provisional using Points Calculator with N2002?

Highlight the track you want to add the prov to, and then click on the Edit button, and then Add on the next screen. "Schooner" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bhot8.15357$[email hidden]... > How do you assign a Provisional using Points Calculator with N2002? > >

I generally give a provisional as starting last, finishing last and assigning a fixed number of points (ours is last place for that event, minus 4 points) and put in 0 laps run, 0 laps led, 0 Q time and 0 winnings. I use the reason out as DNS, Did Not Start, kinda tells everyone that it is a provisional. If you don't fill in everything (reasons for all the zeros above) the PC will not let you add the person to the running order. There may be a quicker way, but I have not found it. This method only takes a minute and works.

Ok thanks. From what I have tried and read else where this seems to be the standard way people are doing it. I may actually look at just dropping races instead of giving provisional as in the end it amounts to much the same thing and is easier to track. It also gives a break to drivers that had bad races and not just to those that missed a race. "Admin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:dpDt8.42077$[email hidden]...
