In scanning to the bottom of the file I see there is an error when saving results as XML.
COLIN — Manolo, is having trouble with the results for the Optimist North Americans in the Dominican Republic. Any idea what the problem is??? I have attached the xml file and the original .blw file.
He appears to have got everything else working for the flights scoring.
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Attached is the xml file for today’s results… I just ran the extract for you, didn’t check any of the results, however I suspect you have 198 competitors doing that for you already.
Don’t know if anyone else in the group has had a problem with the xml feature.

Hello Mark,
I did have it as Divisions but I change everything to Flights but I just don’t get the flights…
I have more results for today that I have to post and I’m into incredible pressure from everybody at this moment.
The total amount is taking the whole flleet instead of calculating each group of 2 color “flights”.
Can you help!! please!!!, can I send you again what I have and you corrected it so I can post it!!?

It is important to understand the definitions of the terms used by Sailwave.
Fleet – A group of boats that will sail and be scor ed together, they can be a one design class, or different boats using a handicap or rating system. Portsmouth , PHRF, or IRC would be a fleet made up of several different classes of boats using a handicap or rating system. Conversely Naples Sabots, or Optimists may be broken up into several different fleets, A’s, B’s, C’s etc. flights, Blue, Yellow, Purple, etc. or Divisions, Men and Women.
Class – The type of boat all carrying the same class insignia per rule G1.1(a). Farr 40, 49er, Snipe, Cal 20, Naples Sabot, Optimist, etc.
Division – Generally us ed to further divides fleets. For example, Olympic 470 Men and Women often sail in a combined fleet, and are scored combined, with the division indicating Men and Women.
Flights – A flight is a competitor attribute that changes on a per race basis, and who is sailing who can change each race.
In reading your SI’s you are using flights rather than divisions. That is who is sailing who changes each race.

Hello Mark,
I’m a bit confused… is there a phone that I can call you?? or do you have Skype ??
I can send you the details of what I’ve done ?? the file (attached), maybe you can help me.
The thing is that we practice with Sailwave and the webmaster configure the webpage so It can received XML docs and do some ranking updates.
But I did not know that the races were going to be combined with colors and it’s driving me nuts.
I had to use St. Pete scorer yesterday buit honestly I don’t like it.
Please let me know.
REgards,
Manuel

Unless you are using rule A9 or have specified a similar provision with your NOR and SI’s, DNC’s will impact the score of boats that come to the starting area, but do not start, do not finish, retire after finishing or are disqualified. If you hide the DNC boats result for that race DNS, OCS, DNF, RAF, etc. boats will not be able to understand how they are being scored.
If you use the real time scoring feature of Sailwave it will enter the time for you, otherwise I am not aware of a feature in sailwave.

We have a number of sailors who register for everything, and participate in fewer events.
For individual races, I can hide DNCs. Is there any way to leave those who were DNC for ALL races off the series summary?
Also, is there any feature that does a rolling default on the significant digits for finish times? (i.e. you enter just the digits that have changed from the previous finish time)
thanks,
