How can I add extra classes to the class list after having set up a
series, but befor any races have been scored?
Thanks
Kerry,
If I am interpreting your question correctly, you need to edit one or more of the CSV files under the Sailwave Ratings folder. You need to follow the format exactly, the first column if you are using Portsmouth based ratings (e.g. RYA, US Sailing, VYC) must have PY in it for each new class you add. When you have finished adding the classes you want, YOU MUST save the file as a CSV file.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Huw

Creating your own rating files
Introduction
In various places within Sailwave the user can select from a list of classes and/or class ratings. The content of these lists is derived from the currently installed rating files and used to calculate corrected times.
Rating file folder
By default all rating files are installed into a sub folder called ratings in your Sailwave installation folder. You can change this folder from the Folders tab of the Setup+GlobalOptions menu. If you do change it and want to use some of the file in the existing folder, you need to copy them across by hand. The number of files in the folder is arbitrary but you should ensure that ratings are not duplicated with conflicting values across files; in such cases, Sailwave will use one of the values, but which one it uses is unspecified.
You can download rating files from the Sailwave website resources page, or create them yourself. Downloaded files should be saved in your rating file folder. The remainder of this topic covers how to create your own rating files.

File format
Each rating file must have a .csv extension with a general format that follows Sailwave’s standard CSV file syntax. The file contains an optional header line followed by an arbitrary number of record lines. Only one record must be present per line.
Header line
The header line is optional. When present it must contain a comma separated list of field names; for example:-
System, Class, DefaultValue, WindValues
Record lines
Each record consists of a number of comma separated fields in a strict order as defined below:-
- Rating system code. The code is not case-sensitive and must be one of:-
py - RYA Portsmouth yardstick rating system
texel - Texel catamaran rating system
scr - ISAF small catamaran handicap rating system
tcf - Generic time correction factor system
tcc - Time correction factor system
irm - IR 2000 IRM
irc - IR 2000 IRC
lys - Scandavian, time correction factor
chs - CHS (legacy)
echo - ECHO (Ireland)
vy - VYC rating system
uspn - USSA Portsmouth rating system
phrf - Standard TOD PHRF
phrftot - TOT PHRF (The A and B operators are defined within Sailwave)
custom - Custom rating system as defined within Sailwave
-
Boat class.
-
Numeric rating value.
-
A comma separated list of wind indexed ratings. This field only needs to be present if you use wind indexed ratings.
Example records:-
PY, Dart 18, 768
scr, Dart 18, 1.18
scr, Dart 18 (with spi), 1.16
uspn, “Isotope (Sloop, 1-Up) ISTP”, 74.2, “79.5,74.5,73.8,68.1”
Notes
You can mix rating systems in a single file but it’s more usual not to.
Any sub-folders in the rating file folder are ignored.
Files that do not have a .csv extension are ignored.
The order of fields in header and record lines is fixed.
