Feature Suggestion: Team prize table

Hi,

We had an event, where all competitothers from Gold and Silver fleets at the end of the event competed in a separate exhibition race where some prize was given to first three teams per fleet (based on 4 members, where there are not enough members, the rest was calculated by the fleet DNC points). U found the Team prize table very useful, it is doing just what was needed, except it is not separating Fleets.

So I had to divide the sailwave file in two, one Gold, one Silver, and calculated the Team Prize Table twice.

From this experience I have a feature suggestion: To add a competitor filter in the “Team prize table” (like in starts or “Set competitor field”, or maybe in Publish → Results: Include Scored groups ), to calculate the Team prize table for only a part of whole Sailwave file.

Adding a filter like “Fleet = Gold”, could be easier, because there I can put whatever number I want for points used for missing competitors, once per calculation. The program logic remain the same, you have just another “WHERE” in the SELECT.

Using the “Include Scored groups” seems more straightforward, but less flexible. It could have problems with the manual entry of points for missing team members, because they could be different in different Fleets.
