Dear Sailwave,
I have just been involved with a race series, but had problems with an import of competitors, when using a ratings file.
The competitors file had the following fields :
Boat
Class
Helm
Crew
Club
We are using our own ratings file, based around the UK Great Lakes handicaps
When I import the competitors, they are added, without ratings.
Even when I score (or rescore) the series the ratings do not occur.
If I add a new competitor with the same class as an exsiting boat, the rating is not added.
If I add a new competitor with a new class, the rating is added.
Have I missed something? Am I doing something wrong?
This has been checked in Sailwave 2.5, 2.5.2 and 2.8.5.
What do I need to do to ensure the ratings are "updated" when a competitor CSV file is added??
Regards
Pete Jones-Scrutton
Hi Pete,
Sailwave will set the competitor rating from the ratings file when you create a new competitor from the menu if a rating for the class exists
If you want it to do it automatically at other times then you need to tick the following box
Setup - Scoring system - Rating system Tab then at the bottom there is a tick box “Auto set competitor ratings”
Give this a try and let us know if it does what you want
Regards
Jon

Jon,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have tried that suggestion, and no ratings are added.
In the "Rating system" tab, I have selected "RYA Portsmouth", and the "auto set competitor ratings".
My ratings file has the entires like:
PY, LASER,1118,1,U,O,1118,GL
Once I've added all my competitors, there are no values in the PY column.
If I add another one, of a different class, the value is added.
If I add one with the same class, the PY is not added.
Regards
Pete

Hi Pete,
You don’t say which OS you are using
Please make sure you have configured the path to the ratings file in the Setup - Global options - Paths - My Ratings files
Note that the path to these changed in the latest version if you are using Vista or Windows 7
The PY files can be downloaded from Sailwave.com - Try using one of these just to check it is not your PY file.
Regards
Jon
Happy New Year

Jon,
I'm using Windows XP SP3 ( and also using on Windows Vista and Windows 7).
The correct path has been set to the file (as I can see the ratings file when I browse the directory).
I will check using a "default file".
Do you report problems if there are errors in the file?
Regards
Pete
