Hi, it would be great if someone could give me some guidance. I have just started at a Yacht Club and I have been asked to use SailWave for all the Club Racing from now on. Luckily our season starts slowly and in the first race of the Spring Series last Saturday there were only 7 starters in our Handicap A (fast) start and 5 starters in our handicap B (slow start). We use PY handicap system (ratings are adjusted by our handicapper but the calculation is same as PY. I have entered a PY for each boat and start and finish times but no calculation of corrected time is happening. I cannot see what is missing in order for the results to be calculated. Please can someone put me straight! Thank you, David
You need to 'Score' the race (assuming that you have set up a series and scoring method).

You need to specify the rating system to be used - go to Setup / Scoring System, then the tab `Rating system’.
The default is None', so presumably you would select RYA Portsmouth’ for your club scoring (or USSA Portsmouth?).

David,
Have you remembered to create a start for each start group for the race(s). Right click the Race column header R1 for example and then create start(s) and associate which boats are in which start.
Kind regards,
Huw
