Discard Races quickly (and elegantly)

Hi folks

Any way to discard races and then rescore the remainder.
I had to discard one fleets Saturday racing and keep their last three races... the quick and dirty was just to duplicate the blw file and then delete R1 to 6. I would think there ia a more elegant way to do this.

Hi Mark,

You don’t say if you were discarding them forever or you wanted to include them in some other results later.

If you were discarding them forever then if you clear the results for that fleet then Sailwave will ignore that race for that fleet.

So you could use:- Edit - Clear results select the competitors involved and select the races R1 to 6

This was just a temporary exclude races so that I could get a Sunday score for the three races recorded. It was a one time fix for a RC versus Parent issue.

I was thinking of something like the exclude competitor field only it it would be exclude races... Rescore and then publish.

I did not want to delete the data
