I want to merge two races - basically a gold fleet and a silver fleet, which started three minutes apart. Would somebody tell me how to do this?

Hi George - perhaps you could expand a bit, is it you have two complete series one Gold and one Silver
I would think the option you want is from the File menu - Merge Series and then the third option - see below
If you want to send me the two blw files I’ll have a look.

John,
I thought I had done that but it created a series of two races in which half the fleet Did Not Come to the second. I just want to make one race for the 59 boats that were all on the water at the same time and sailed the same course but started three minutes apart. I suspect that I could just cut and paste one fleet into the other and rescore, but I haven’t tried that yet, The two files are attached,

Hi George,
From what you have said I am wondering why you have not done it all
in one file. If you did in one file and set two starts for each race
I think you could score each ‘group’ (Gold & Silver) separately
and all as one cohort. Like Jon I will look at your files and see
what is waht.
Kind regards,
Huw

Yup - that’s it! You’ve obviously done this before!

Hi George,
Jon beat me to it. But having looked at the files you sent to the
SUG and the one Jon has return, I have noticed that you seem to be
entering a lot more data than you need to, unless you are importing
finish information from a CSV file.
What did I notice? When I right click the label R1 and select Edit
Race, I see one start with place finish for all competitors. But
when I edit result for a competitor I see that there is a start and
finish time which tells me that the results should be calculated on
corrected time and this is confirmed when I look at scoring system
rating tab.
Using the file Jon has posted you can produce the 3 sets of results
you want:
-
Best of the Rest
-
Four Seasons
-
All boats
For the last set of results you need to select the first option in
the score series window and for the first two use the second option
in the window.I have taken Jo’s file and modified it so you can see how I suggest
the information in the Edit race window should be set-up. If you are
using the Sail Number Wizard for data entry this will save a lot of
typing, i.e . eliminate the need to enter the start time for
every boat, and eliminate the possiblity of entering the wrong start
time for a boat. I also suggest, to reduce data entry typing, using
6-digit number strings for times HHMMSS, i.e . without a
separator between the HH, MM & SS.Hope you might find this additional information useful. It also
removes the need to merge files.Kind regards,
Huw
