Questions

Hi All,

I'm having great success with Sailwave so far this summer and am
appreciating it very much. That said I would like to know if it's
possible, in the prize table, to report more than just the first place
finisher for a particular fleet? It would be really helpful to be able
to display the 2nd and 3rd places (or more) as well.

My other question is how would I score a series which is made up of
three or four unique, individual regattas which have their own prize
winners but the results of each regatta are cumulative in order to
identify an overall winner at the end of the season? I think it can be
done in the main Sailwave screen but I'm not sure (it would be nice to
be able to publish or hide individual races and not just the whole lot).

Also, is it possible to publish the notes that can be made for a
particular race whcih could include weather, water or venue conditions
for example or at least make them available by a hyperlink?

Cheers,

Nick,

I have gone back and found your message which I missed first time round.

Regarding Prize table, the functionality only produces the highest
placed person eligible for that prize currently. It is in the
development plan to extend the list.

With regard to your second question again it is in the development
plan, to allow a selection of races to be used to produce results for
a series within a series. I would find this useful as my club runa
Wednesday evening set of races and we want to produce aset fof results
for the first half, the second half and the whole set of races.
However when you publish results you can select which races are to be
shown by entering a comma separated list in the appropriate box, for
example

2,5-9,11,13

where 5-9 means races 5 to 9 inclusive.

You can record information on weather (wind direction & wind speed)
per start in the Edit Race details window Longer information text can
be entered on the Notes tab, but so far I cannot recall ever seeing it
printed out :frowning:

Hope this helps and apologies for missing the message first time round.
Kind regards,
Huw
