At our club we have two kinds of PHRF ratings for each boat: a straight PHRF rating and a Jib & Main (JAM) rating. I'll include links at the bottom in case anyone cares. FWIW we are a US Sailing PHRF member and report ratings.
Some divisions race with the straight rating, others with the JAM rating. Here's a twist: some skippers swing both ways -- sometimes they compete in the JAM division, sometimes in the PHRF division. Of course, not in the same series.
There is another club on the lake that has all sorts of equipment offsets (old sails +6, non-folding prop +6, this kind of thing) they use for their intramural program. But they host a big regatta each year and use the straight PHRF ratings our club maintains for that event.
I see that I can have multiple Portsmouth ratings selectable by wind strength (sorta required for Portsmouth), but I don't see a straightforward way to have multiple ratings for the PHRF scoring system -- I'd have to define two different competitors to reflect the two ratings in the competitor file. Have I missed something?
What I'd like to do is define a division, tell it that it wants to use the PHRFTOT scoring method, and the JAM-PHRF rating for each boat/competitor. Our current software (quickscorerace.com) does this quite directly.
If there's basically no way to do what I want, there a way to "clone" the PHRFTOT scoring method and make it instead the PHRFJAM scoring method so I could separate the competitors according to the scoring system rather than my making up a different boat name or type? All the computations would be the same, only the name has changed.
Still exploring SailWave. Can anybody help?
