Hi
We run a 6 hour race every year at my club. The winner is calculated as the person who has the fastest average lap time over the 6 hour period. Does anyone know if sailwave can be used for this sort of calculation?
you can enter a numper of laps together to the
elapsed or start/finish time and sailwave will work on the average
lap time - but - it cannot handle fractional laps - which is
implied for your finishing. You can get around it by multiplying
by 10 - so if the lap completed is 10.5 - enter 105 laps. The
results will be correct.
But how to you measure the partial laps...?

Once the 6 hour finish signal has sounded you finish once you have completed the lap you are on.
Sailwave won't actually tell you what the average lap time is for each competitor though will it? I did a bit of a test but couldn't see how it might do that.
When you enter the results, you enter elapsed time and no. of laps (or start / finish times + laps). When you score, Sailwave will, for each competitor, calculate an average lap time and allocate points accordingly. It does not actually show the average times, though.
