Reading the reports

The reports turn your nest records and race results into answers: which pairings, which breeders and which racers are earning their place.

The four reports

Go to Reports and choose a tab:

The Best pairings report listing cock and hen, seasons, youngsters, youngsters raced, entries, wins, top 10s, average position, average top percentage and best velocity.

Choose what counts

Above each report you can choose:

Small numbers mislead

A pairing with one youngster that won once will top the table. Use the "at least N entries" filter before drawing conclusions.

What the columns mean

ColumnMeaning
Young / RacedHow many youngsters were bred, and how many of them have raced.
EntriesRace entries. A bird sent but not placed still counts as an entry.
Wins / Top 10Firsts, and placings in the top 10.
Avg posAverage finishing position.
Avg top %Average position as a share of the birds in each race, so big and small races compare fairly. 1st of 500 is 0.2%; 50th of 500 is 10%. Lower is better. Races without the number of birds competing are left out.
Best vel.The best velocity recorded.
The Best racers report listing each bird with its sire and dam, entries, wins, top 10s, best placing and average position.
