One of my biggest gripes is looking at the results of an event (where I wasn't in attendance) and
trying to work out who raced against whom in each flight/race.
I have seen some results displayed as say, Race 1a, 1b 1c etc in separate columns, which helps to
see the flight info but obviously requires more paper or a tiny font to print the results on a
single page width.
Sailwave does not lend itself easily to changing displays (without the pain of publishing to Excel
etc) so I suspect that the current method of all results in one column is the best compromise.
What do others think & is it possible in some future release to consider these points??
Regards
Ralph
Hi Ralph,
Yes there is lots I can do to make publishing better; it's something I'm
trying to steer towards but there is more important stuff to do before...
all iades welcome in the mean time. NB: the ISAF product a document
specifying the various ways in which results must be displayed for the
Olympic games; have you seen it - some of them are very clever; like scoring
a series up to race 1, then up to race 2 then up to race 3 and putting the
accumulative points in the race cells; showing who gained then lost the
lead. etc etc.
Regards,
Colin J

Quite happy to sit tight until you get round to publishing.
Not seen the ISAF document, sounds interesting. Any ideas how to get a copy (url??)
Regards
Ralph
