Hi Selby,
BCE is how much faster the boat would have had to have sailed to have been first / joint first.
So I have done a test with your figures
Using the first 2 and the last 2 boats and then adding a Test boat.
The Test boat has the same rating as the last boat but its elapsed time I entered as 4:45 quicker than the time for the last boat, and as you can see this is then the same corrected time as the first boat. So the 4:45 calculated by Sailwave is the correct value for a BCE. How did you calculate your 5:33?

Hello,
We’ve been using Sailwave for several years and this is the first time that a skipper has said something about the BCE not being right. I re-scored the race in another program and the last few BCE’s differ. I did the BCE for the last boat by hand and came up with 5:33:46 not 4:45 as was calc’d by Sailwave.
I am using the most recent version of Sailwave 2.19.8. I initially scored in 2.16 and then downloaded 2.19 and opened the file and re-scored to see if it would make a difference.
Here’s the link to the webpage with the results from both scoring programs: HCK Detail, TNT June 16, 2016 - mbyc.org
