Great tip! thanks Ted.

Re, the Adjustment screen, remember that the Val/Spec/RDSS adjustment scheme normalizes times not to today's track, surface, distance but to a hypothetical norm (e.g. 'Sartin Downs'), thus even GP 6f dirt lines with a 0 DTV will be adjusted by the Inter Track variant amount that surface varies from the hypothetical norm (that's part of how we attempt to compare apples to apples).

I would advise not 'mixing methods' - if you're following Matching techniques, use the adjustment scheme advised by Jim and Richie. Only use the rest of the energy based analyses as a corollary.

I'll let Richie address your matching questions from your Origianl screen POR, position and beaten length notes.
