Hi
Sorry to place another post, different subject.
My Race management system successfully loads the ongoing current series to Sailwave by re generating the blw file.
This is done on an auto job run at the end of the day after a race is completed and loads the htm file to the clubs website automatically.
The reason for this is to allow real time series visibility albeit provisional.
However, the Duty teams are awarded average points via the scoring codes.
What I would like to do or see done is a way to load the duty team as a seperate entity within sailwave without having to go into each race, see if the helm has competed and manually enter the code accordingly ?
Is this or will this be possible ?
Hope I made sense ?

Hi Ian,
No it is not possible and as it is at least unique currently to
your requirements I doubt it will be added.
Is it not possible for you to look up the sail number of each
member of the duty team, or have them sign in with their sail
number, and therefore add them to the races results. You seem to
have a very automated system and would be interested in
understanding more about the underlying technology/software.
Kind regards,
Huw

It was a long shot, but even in a manual operation, entering your Race Team upfront could be a bonus ?
My system fully automates race management, from sign on, countdown, timing, finish logging to results publication. It allows more people to enter what is for most clubs, the dark art of race management.
So to this end I didnt want to re invent the wheel, and as I have all the corrected positions anyway, it seamed logical to use the power of sailwave to compile the results.
the automation compiles a blw file each time after a race is completed, I use windows messaging service to publish via ftp.
All coding is in Vb6 / VBNet.
The plus is that the club members use one system and they get real time results and provisional series published to their website on the same day.
So loading the duty team was a bonus, I am looking to add then into the competitor results compile with the relavent Rcod value
Hi Ian,
Problem with entering Race team upfront in even in manual system
is that using the default config of OOD means when you score the
series every other competitor gets DNC.
FYI - I have read all the information on your website about the
system. I am guessing you are using a system coded in VB.NET using
an underlying SQL database. In the past I was involved in club
where we had a system created to run on a Windows system which did
a very similar job to your system. It ran on a 386 processor and
was developed in VB and spoke the countdown and flag hoist
warnings using the then new Microsoft speech API. For finishing it
recorded the time and spoke the seconds on each button push. The
system generated a CSV file for importing finish data into
Sailwave.
Keep up the good work.
PS - by the way I do not code Sailwave, just a long time user
Kind regards,
Huw

Thankyou Huw
Understood, and yes albeit a little more up to date, my system does essentially the same thing. I am looking at appending the the result fields in the blw file at the moment for the duty teams so I may have it sorted.
My system takes a logical approach, Race Team sign in, Competitors sign in, Race Runs, Results confirmed > The END.
In that logical order one cannot proceed without the former.
And with anything like this, its a continuing development platform, i also hook into the clubs Dutyman roster if they have one to report on duty team attendance
