Columns in SWPrize.exe

SWPrize appears to publish a fixed set of columns in the report. Has there been any consideration to allow selecting the columns to publish? For PHRF fleets, we would prefer the boat name to competitor.

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

As always its a question of trying to keep it simple and quick, against additional functionality.

I was recently at the Wave Regatta in Dublin where we used the SWPrize program and as in your case wanted the Boat names

A quick and simple trick here is to use the Crew Field.(assuming you are not using it already)

Use the Menu - Tools - Set competitor field to copy the Boat name to the CrewName Field but don’t publish the CrewName column.

Then when you run the SWPrize you get something like this where the Competitor has what is in the HelmName Field and underneath you have the Boat Name - best of both worlds.

Fields such as:-

  • Nat
  • Class
  • Fleet
  • Division
    are turned on and off depending upon if the column is published so there is some control

Perhaps I should add Boat to that.
