Help a newbie!

I am hosting a multihull event this weekend and need some help using sailwave. I will have an "open" class that will race corrected time using portsmouth numbers. I have been playing with Sailwave software and have imported the USSA Portsmouth rating system. I set up a sample class with differnt booats and entered a 3 race series, making up fictitious times. When I score the series it bases the results merely on elapsed time, not adjusted time using the handicap number. How do I go about correcting this?

Hi,

Have you edited the scoring system to use a rating system?

  • On the tool bar click Scoring System button
  • now select the Rating system tab
  • click the radio button beside USSA Portsmouth
  • click OK
  • click Save button
  • now score the series and you should have want you want
    Sailwave by default does not use a scoring system and therefore scores
    as position across the finish line.

Kind regards,

Huw
