In November of 2008, the Central Council of Handicappers for PHRF-LO voted in favour of adjusting the Q.Factor in our Time on Time formula to .008 from .045.
This was as a result of an in depth analysis of over 3500 races for the last 5 years by our Technical Advisory Committee.
As a result, our formula was adjusted slightly to accomodate that change.
Below is the modified version of the original formula.
Q = .008
S = Scratch Boat = ASP 177
R = (8.36 x 106) ÷ ((ASP + 378.3)2)
RS = (8.36 x 106) ÷ ((177 + 378.3)2)
TOT = ((1 ÷ √RS + Q) ÷ ((1 ÷ √R) +Q))
or TOT = (578.431 ÷ (ASP + 401.431))
Your new A & B values are:
A = 578.431
B = 401.431
