Excluding races from the calculations, but still listing them.

For the 29er World Championships, a boat’s regatta score will be the total of her race scores from her final-series races plus points equal to her qualifying-series rank. To accomplish this we’ll be creating a race containing the boat’s rank points and flag that this race is not discardable.

However, it would be nice if we could list all the qualifying race results. A flag like “don’t include this race” would be nice.

Is there another solution to list the qualifying race results? I could export the data and import the qualifying results in different fields such as “NavigatorNotes” , etc.

Peter

Hi Peter,

There is an alternative way, and I think better way, of setting-up

the F-series.

When you 'import' the competitors from the Q-series using the *      File

menu | Merge in another Sailwave series* the second option '* Merge/match
competitors and create a new race using the series ranks from the
merged series* ', there are two check boxes if you leave the
first 'Use series points instead of series ranks ’ blank and
put a tick in the second box you will have the rank points set
against the competitor and they will be added to the Net Points when
series is scored.

At the regattas I have been involved with for classes like 29er

which are frequently having 15-18 races scheduled during a regatta,
it has been the process to publish/print when a Q-series and
F-series separately; especially if printing on A4 paper. What a
pleasure it was at the Sail for Gold Regatta to have an A3 printer
with A3 paper available.

It may be possible for you to have one Sailwave file covering all

races, i.e. Q-series & F-series. It depends on the SI’s with
regard to scoring and excluded scores/discards. Having looked at
the NoR the discards/excluded scores are applied separately to the
Q-series & F-series. The latest versions of Sailwave allow and
overall discard profile to be set and a F-series discard profile,
which works with the overall discard profile and can have set
maximum & minimum number discards to come from F-series.

Hope this helps. Quite a simple regatta to score after the recent

49er Europeans.

Kind regards,
Huw

Hi Peter,

Whilst out walking the dog, I realised that having read the NoR that

it is necessary to have a Q-series Sailwave file and an F-series
Sailwave file. If the NoR had been worded so that the Net Q-series
points were to be taken forward then it would be possible to score
the regatta in one Sailwave file.

Kind regards,
Huw
