Handicap Systems

Ebert · 30 January 2018 01:30

I am looking to Sailwave to help with our handicapping system.

We rank sailors at our National event. The person who exceeds their ranking by the most wins the handicap prize.

We subtract the ranking from the places to get the points. So if you are ranked 10^th but come second, you get 8 points.

If you are ranked 1^st but come 10^th, you get -9 etc.

Highest points wins.

I need to be able to use a variable for the ranking. Is there a straightforward way of doing this?

Hi Rob,

This is not something that I can see a way of doing with Standard Sailwave.

It would require some custom changes.

I would think that this would have to be done externally, e.g. in
Excel

  Export results from Sailwave to Excel, then set up the

calculations.
