One of our competitors received a post race penalty of 30%. I can only find the SCP (scoring penalty) code which applies a 20% penalty.
You can edit the SCP to make it 30% , providing the standard one isn’t also being used.
In that case, make a new one like SCP, call it SCP2.
Thanks Malcolm. Very helpful advice. ![]()
Hi Saskia,
Welcome to the Sailwave User Group forum.
Hopefully the previous post has enabled you to apply the scoring penalty %age you want.
Kind regards,

It did indeed. Thank you
Hi Saskia,
Please be aware that Rule 44.3 (c) was changed (rounding) for the current quad. Sailwave can manage it, but you will need version 2.37 or higher. See below:

Having trouble with a sailwave series currently with the Post Race Penalty. I’ve followed all of the above advice but;
a) the points being added don’t equaly the 20% (It is taking the competitor from 3rd out of 36 boats and scoring them 37 points rather than 13.8)
b) the other competitors scores are not supposed to be changed and it is moving everyone else up a place.
Any suggestions?

Hi Matthew,
From your description it would seem that the methods for the scoring penalty on the Methods tab for the scoring code are not correct. The following is the default SCP methods:
Also for the default property is
As Peter said sharing your Sailwave file will be helpful. Hopefully Peter has already resolved your issue by email.

Hi SUG Members,
Just a quick closure for issue Matthew (Cobra524) was having.
It turned out to be resolved by removing the ILCA6 results for R5 which were all DNC anyway, as the fleet ran out of time for the race to be started after black flag starts.
The issue encountered does need further looking at to see if there is a problem in Sailwave.
Kind regards,
Huw
