Entering Competitors and Ratings

I'm trying to set up Sailwave for the first time to use it in our
club. I have a database output (.csv) of all our boats - including a
few 'classics' with local class handicaps as well as the usual
menagerie of a handicap fleet. My problem is that Sailwave will
happily import the competitors but does not give them handicaps
despite selection of a rating system and the presence of rating files
in the ratings folder. It allocates handicaps perfectly well to new
entries typed directly in.

So - two questions -

1. Is it possible to automatically update/set ratings for a series of
entrants.

2. Is it possible to augment the standard ratings data with an extra
file or does one have to have everything in one file?

Best wishes - and thanks in advance for the help.

Paul,

If you would like I will take a look at your information and see if I can identify where there may be a problem. I would need sample data at least from both the Sailwave file and your CSV database output file.

Kind regards,

Huw
