Hi folks,
I’ll be scoring a masters regatta this weekend. We’re using the standard low point system etc. and that’s all fine. The added wrinkle is that the race positions/points then get added an age group related handicap to each individuals’ race positions.
Eg. add 2 points per race for a competitor who is 50-55 years old; 1 point for 56-60 etc. … then do the discards and summations etc.
I know how to do apply the handicap and crunch out the results using a post-processed excel file. Can the handicaps be added within Sailwave itself?
Many thanks,
… Marc
Quick answer yes. Look at the 2010 results Laser Master North Americans at www.abyc.org. Also there is a section in the Sailwave Guide that covers ILCA Masters Handicap scoring. The link to the guide is in the footer of all Sailwave group e-mails.

The International Laser Class Association (ILCA) Master’s are broken into four age
divisions: Apprentice (35‐44 years old), Master (45‐54 years old), Grand Master (55‐
64 years old) and Great Grand Master (65+). In North America the Masters typically
race as one fleet but score in their age divisions. An overall winner is also
determined using the ILCA North American Master Handicap System where
Apprentices add 3 points to their finish position in each race, Masters 2 points and
Grand Masters 1 point. The results are recalculated and the person with the lowest
score wins, etc.
Having setup the event as you would normally take the following actions to setup
the handicap.
Add four new Scoring Codes as follows: APP (Apprentice), MST (Master), GM (Grand
Master), and GGM (Great Grand Master). These codes will be used to apply the
handicap to each competitor. Each scoring code should be “Scored a fixed number
of Points” APP 3 points, MST 2 points, GM 1 points, and GGM 0 points. These codes
will need to be modified after each race to reflect the series handicap, race handicap
multiplied by the number of races that count in a boats series total. An Apprentice
who has sailed six races and has one discard would have a handicap of 15 points (3
points x 5 races).
Add an extra race and change the race name to “Handicap” or “H’cap”. This race will
be used to hold each boat’s series handicap. Edit Start the start, which is in the Edit
Race window and check “This race is not discardable”.
