I have a series complete with results for PY. I would like to see how the results would have been had we used a rating system based on PY but modified to compensate for tidal effect (in effect, slower boats get more assistance, so that an RS800 stays rated at 822, but an RS400 goes up to 975 and a Laser to 1150).
I created a .csv file and added it to my ratings folder alongside the downloaded PY file. To 'help' Sailwave use it, I named it Texel.csv and entered Texel in the first column of the file (in place of PY in the downloaded file). (I know it's not really Texel, but that was at least an option in the list)
I identified the ratings folder in Global Setup, and switched the rating file to Texel in the Series Setup. Scored the series. Result, no change.
Closed and re-opened Sailwave, scored system. Still no change. I tried ticking the "Auto-set Competitor Ratings" box and did it all again., still no change.
Tried creating a new competitor. Still the old PY rating appeared when I entered the class.
How do I get Sailwave to 'see' and use the new "Texel" rating file instead of the PY file?
What operating system are you using? If Microsoft Vista then there
can be issues with Sailwave picking up new rating files and even
using a version you know you have modified.
Kind regards,
