Hi Jon,
this looks promising to me. I have to admit that i had not downloaded the latest version yet, so i was unaware of this feature.
Of course it would be terrific to find the option for our special system in a later version of sailwave, but for the moment i will help myself by doing something in excel.

Hi Thorsten,
Sailwave has some limited capabilities for Team racing which I guess you
have seen. See Publish - Team Prize table. But this is not going to do
what you want exactly. You can copy the results from Sailwave to the
Clipboard and these can be pasted directly into Excel or similar. You can
also import from Excel by saving the excel as a .csv file. I will be adding
some more facilities for team racing in a later versions. The next version
of Sailwave currently in Development has links to Excel for calculating
Personal/Progressive handicaps.Jon
