Hi
I am setting up Sailwave for the first time and have some questions.
1. We score DNF as the no of starters in the race, not the series. I
can't see how to do this.
2. When a sailor is Race Officerf we allocate points for 1st place,
how to do this ??
3. I have been told that if a handicap is changed during a series, SW
will recalculate previous results to the revised handicap. We don't
want it to do that.
Would appreciate some help.

Hi
I am setting up Sailwave for the first time and have some questions.
Assuming you are running v1.57:
1. We score DNF as the no of starters in the race, not the series. I
can't see how to do this. Edit, Scoring System, Scoring Codes, select DNF &
edit!
2. When a sailor is Race Officerf we allocate points for 1st place,
how to do this ?? Same as 1., but create a new code e.g. 'RO' which scores
'1' or whatever you want....
3. I have been told that if a handicap is changed during a series, SW
will recalculate previous results to the revised handicap. We don't
want it to do that. It doesn't! Try it.....click on a particular
competitors result cell in a given race, look at the Rating tab, the only
option is 'use until next override'......
Another 2 questions:
How do I enter the number of races in a series? File, New Series....
When setting up a new series, do you copy and edit a previous one, if so how
do you delete the no of races. You can if you want, any race that has a
result in it can be deleted....Edit, Delete Race...
Would appreciate some help.

Suggest you play around with the options for a few hours - it's an
incredibly capable programme!

Hi Mike,
1. We score DNF as the no of starters in the race, not the series. I
can't see how to do this.
In Edit+ScoringSystem+ScoringCodes you'll see that each code has a "method"
associated with it - change DFN to be number of boats in race, rather than
number of boats in series, or click the button that sets up the codes for a
long series. The reuls have changed now and the boats in race/series is not
optional.
2. When a sailor is Race Officerf we allocate points for 1st place,
how to do this ??
Ditto using the appropriate method.
3. I have been told that if a handicap is changed during a series, SW
will recalculate previous results to the revised handicap. We don't
want it to do that.
Sailwave does not do anything with handicaps - you enter a competitor
handicap in edit+competitor and optionally overrride it in edit+result on a
per race bases and that's it. The published results do show the hapdicap
the boats sailed to (based on 1st place sailing to their entered handicap)
but it's for information purposes only.

Actually if your using a high point system there might not be one - I can't
check at the moment - get back to me if that is the case.
