Hi There,
I'm new to Sailwave and evaluating it for our our club. I'm going in circles trying to work out how to set up Sailwave to correspond with the way we are currently recording our dinghy results. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to get the right setup in place. This is the way the dinghies race:
- We have an Morning Group and an Afternoon Group scored seperately
- The morning group has three dinghy classes, scored seperately
- Each morning dinghy group is split into two further groups: novice and open - you guessed it - scored seperately
- the afternoon group has 4 dinghy classes, all scored seperately
- the afternoon group is all open - no novices
- to cap it off, all of the above have the results entered in a scratch and open club series.
so far:
I set 'Fleet' to Morning or afternoon (2 fleets)
I set 'class' to dinghy type
I set 'division' to novice or open.
I'm confused in that I can only seem to select one criteria (fleet/class/division)to score against when I need a filter of three to say, get down to the morning, MJ, novices.
Also if I need to score both scratch and handicap, do I need to run two series and double-handle the result (elapsed time - entering it twice), or is there a smarter way to do it?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I would have one file for the morning group and another for the afternoon group.

Thanks Malcolm,
OK - File (I assume series) for morning and one for afternoon. How do I split them from there: class = dinghy type, division = open/novice?
I still don't understand the other two bits:
- How to score grouped on both class & division
- How to enter one set of results and then score on both scratch and handicap?
Can you enlighten further, in terms of setup?
Cheers,
Steve

Steve,
For the morning group, you could do the entries as e.g. class = Sunfish, Sunfish novices, Laser and Laser Novices, etc then score by class. Would that work?
I don't have experience in this, but I believe the best way to score on scratch and handicap would be to use aliases. Others can advise more in this regard.
