We often have a weekend event where the racing is split between the Saturday and the Sunday.
On Sat the fleet is split into four flights, who race each other once or more, then one the Sunday the fleet is split into Gold and Silver. The gold sometimes have more races on the Sunday than the silver. The fleets are blue/red/yellow/white on the Saturday and they race on two starts (i.e. race 1 start 1 = blue vs red, start 2 = yellow vs white)
Having read the help and tried lots, I cannot see how this can be done in Sailwave. It can be done in Sail100.
Is it possible without resorting to excel?

I had a go at this, using a real event for the numbers. I managed to get the flights allocated and scored without problem.
The issue I face is that the Silvers only had 6 races so I didn't add them to the 7th race start, however, they are all discarding the 7th race, not the race they should.
Can you enter the competitors and assign them to flights?
Can you configure the Starts?
Is the problem assigning them to Gold and Silver?
Let us know how far you have got and I'm sure someone will help you over

The issue I face is that the Silvers only had 6 races so I didn’t add them to the 7th race start, however, they are all discarding the 7th race, not the race they should.
Adrian, I have scored several regattas using Sailwave with Gold and Silver flights, but I couldn’t find an example where the Silver fleet sailed one less race.
How were the Silver fleet competitors scored in the final race; DNC or a blank result? If they are all shown as DNC then Sailwave is correctly discarding the DNC result, you need to make sure that the Silver Fleet is show as not racing the last race, that is their result is blank. If you are having problems getting Sailwave not to give the silver fleet a blank result, you could give them all a scoring code result of BYE,or something similar and set the score for BYE to 0. Strictly speaking it is not the method, but it should get you the correct result.
I can take a look at the blw file if you can send it to me.

I have scored many events where there have been a Qualifying series
(Q-series) with daily flight re-allocation, or just simple round
robin colour groups, prior to split into Gold, Silver etc fleets
for a Final series (F-series). With F-series fleets sailing
different number of races with discards working as expected.
I suspect that you may not have scored correctly. You have to change
the scoring option used once split into Gold, Silver etc for
F-series. Also it is usual to fix results from Q-series once a
F-series race has been completed.
As Jon & Mark have offered, I would also be willing to look at
your Sailwave .BLW file.

Just had an initial look at your file and I would not have set it up
in quite that way. I would have used Flight for the colour groups
and Fleets for Gold & Silver.
Things I have noticed so far:
In Race 1 you have incorrectly set up
which colours are racing against each other,
in start 1 you have Flight = Yellow or Flight = Blue
in start 2 Fleet = R or Fleet = G
In Race 1 Flight Blue = Blue but in other races it
is Bluee but does not affect things as Sailwave has
taken first letter
on App LE Addendum C tab in Scoring System check
box ‘Do not recalculate qualifying series when at
least one finals race has been sailed’ is not set. I
would have expected the results from Q-series not to
change when a F-series has been sailed.
However, to quickly change your file to stop having Silver Flight
scored DNC for R7 and for majority have it as their discard you only
need to do one thing differently. When you score series use the
second radio button option and use Flight as the grouping after you
have deleted the results for the Silver Flight in R7.
If you want to discuss in more detail send me an email.
Kind regards,
Huw

You clicked on an advert. To download Sailwave, use the download menu.
Why the adverts?
The Sailwave server costs me personally about £20 a month to run. Adverts bring in less than £10 a month. Donations are very few and far between and rarely cover the rest averaged out. I/we provide out time completely free of charge because I mad a promise about 10 years ago that Sailwave would always be free. I don’t think that a few google adverts is a big deal personally, especially since they are so common and easy to spot.

Firstly Sorry you had a problem In this instance the link that you clicked on was an advert and we are not able to control the format of the adverts. I do agree with you whole heartedly that some of the adverts are designed to deceive people and when you are in a hurry it is easy to mistake them. But its either no adverts or adverts. The problem is that Sailwave is Free but it cost a considerable amount in additional resources which have to be paid for. The hosting of the server alone is several hundreds of pounds per year. One way we can recuperate some of this cost is to allow Google to place a few adverts on the site, in so doing we give them some space on each page to place their adverts but we do not control the adverts. In your message you say you clicked on a PDF creator advert but that advert will change. Next time you go to the Sailwave site it will probably be a different advert.
If you would like us to remove the Google adverts we would be very happy to replace them (or remove them) with an advert for your organisation if you would like to pay the costs. Please let us know if this a possible solution.
Colin and I have spent Many - Many hours developing / refining and supporting Sailwave. I guess you put many hours into supporting your Yorkshire and Humberside Youth Sailing Association the same but Sailwave does take up every spare minute of my time and Many weekends. It also cost me money purchasing the software to support it and cost me money going to Meetings and this year accomodation and travel to the Dinghy show to be on the stand. Maybe your Sailing association gets some Grants or Membership fees. Sailwave doesn’t get any of these. But we still aim to supply a Quality product Free of charge. We do get a few donations which are very gratefully received but these no way cover our cost. If you have some ideas then please let us know
We have tried to make it as simple as possible to download and use Sailwave. First we supply a dedicated site. The site has a menu with Download.
If you click on Download you get
So you can see we have even separated out the Beta versions for you to make it simpler. The Download of the Ratings files is on the same menu and you can put them where ever you like all you need to do is then tell Sailwave where you have put them See Setup - Global options - Folders - My Rating files
···
Oh and by the way there is no need to get a login to Sailwave to be able to download it you can even go straight to http://www.sailwave.com/category/download/sailwave but please take time to read some of the other pages such as the FAQ’s which you will hopefully find useful

We do get a few donations which are very gratefully received but these no way cover our cost. If you have some ideas then please let us know
We have tried to make it as simple as possible to download and use Sailwave. First we supply a dedicated site. The site has a menu with Download.
If you click on Download you get
So you can see we have even separated out the Beta versions for you to make it simpler. The Download of the Ratings files is on the same menu and you can put them where ever you like all you need to do is then tell Sailwave where you have put them See Setup - Global options - Folders - My Rating files
Oh and by the way there is no need to get a login to Sailwave to be able to download it you can even go straight to http://www.sailwave.com/category/download/sailwave but please take time to read some of the other pages such as the FAQ’s which you will hopefully find useful
Hope you and your organisation enjoy using your free Sailwave
I have advocated that Sailwave should be used by all the clubs we go round in Yorkshire and Humberside for the last 5 years. I am rapidly going off it. At this time of year I upload a new version for the new season. Why have you made it like a rubbish cheeting web site to get at?
So annoying. First avoid the .pdf creater, then get a log in. Then try to find where you acctually download the program I’m
looking for. All using up my very short time!!!
So annoying. And I know I will still have to work out how to get the new PY numbers and get the file in the right place etc etc.

Subject: [sailwave] Flights then Gold Silver
Hi
Sorry if this is already covered elsewhere but I could not find it.
We often have a weekend event where the racing is split between the Saturday and the Sunday.
On Sat the fleet is split into four flights, who race each other once or more, then one the Sunday the fleet is split into Gold and Silver. The gold sometimes have more races on the Sunday than the silver. The fleets are blue/red/yellow/white on the Saturday and they race on two starts (i.e. race 1 start 1 = blue vs red, start 2 = yellow vs white)
Having read the help and tried lots, I cannot see how this can be done in Sailwave. It can be done in Sail100.
Is it possible without resorting to excel?
If it can be done please can you point out where I go to get the instructions
I do appreciate the work you guys do, and to prove it have just done a pay-pal donation of £20 to keep the web-site running another month! (Please can we have a big green button with [Download Sailwave] on it near the top of the download tab?). Afraid I do it once a year. Then know I will have fun getting the PY file to work but am normally sorted when we start in March / April.
Pity you can’t get £1/month from every club which uses it!
Thanks William

I’ve added the PDF converter advert and a few others with “download” on them to the block list - may take a while to kick in…

Hi William,
Firstly Sorry you had a problem In this instance the link that you clicked on was an advert and we are not able to control the format of the adverts. I do agree with you whole heartedly that some of the adverts are designed to deceive people and when you are in a hurry it is easy to mistake them. But its either no adverts or adverts. The problem is that Sailwave is Free but it cost a considerable amount in additional resources which have to be paid for. The hosting of the server alone is several hundreds of pounds per year. One way we can recuperate some of this cost is to allow Google to place a few adverts on the site, in so doing we give them some space on each page to place their adverts but we do not control the adverts. In your message you say you clicked on a PDF creator advert but that advert will change. Next time you go to the Sailwave site
it will probably be a different advert.
If you would like us to remove the Google adverts we would be very happy to replace them (or remove them) with an advert for your organisation if you would like to pay the costs. Please let us know if this a possible solution.
Colin and I have spent Many - Many hours developing / refining and supporting Sailwave. I guess you put many hours into supporting your Yorkshire and Humberside Youth Sailing Association the same but Sailwave does take up every spare minute of my time and Many weekends. It also cost me money purchasing the software to support it and cost me money going to Meetings and this year accomodation and travel to the Dinghy show to be on the stand.
