How does Sailwave determine best recent scores (ISAF Appx A 8.2) Sailwave ( 2_9_7.1)

Our Fleet has had an unusual number of canceled races due to severe weather this season. We run 3 series. Each Series consists of 7 races. For example if race 3, and race 5 were canceled, and later made up I leave race 3, and 5 in place in Sailwave and when these races are made up I go back and score them with the date of the makeup race. Often one of the make up races is the last race of the series - after the 7th race of the series…

In one of the series I have a tie for first place for the series. Most of the ties seem to be inevitably are settled with A 8.2. My question is does Sailwave use the date of the race, or race number to determine the most recent race. I did some testing and it appears it is using date of the race?

It seems in the past I have found when I have a tie for the series for first place, that if I click on the column for example race 5 ( the most recent race) to sort it for publication, even though the net number value remains the same I now have to click on the net column to see the result/order of the tie breaker logic.

Thanks,

Sailwave uses the race number

So if you wish to have the last race named R3 you can edit the name that is displayed for Race 7 to be R3

If you wish to publish an individual race you can do this in the publish options

For tie broken results you should be sorting on the Rank
