Publishing results by fleet

Hi,

Long time fan of Sailwave, currently using version 1.95 Build 6

We have an event on Saturday which will consist of approximately 170 boats of the same class split across 3 fleets (Gold, Silver and Bronze), all sharing the same start and finish lines.

Experience has shown that the fleet are likely to become interleaved by the finish so it is much easier for the results team if we use a single Sailwave file so that they do not have to manually select which file to enter a sail number in to.

We then score by fleet and publish the results three times, once for each fleet, each to a different filename. The results can be seen here (use the menu at the top to switch fleets):

This works fine but I have a couple of questions:

1. Is it possible to specify the HTML file name on a per fleet basis? At the moment, we edit it three times each time we publish the results and we like to post the results after each race.

2. Is there a way that we can remove the relative link from the top of the published file. With only one fleet per file, this is somewhat superfluous.

Thanks in advance.

Why do you score and publish the results three times?

Sailwave allows you to score the regatta once and publish the results together. Below is an example from the Cal 20 US Nationals which had both a Gold and Silver Fleet
