Ratings files

I have a question about tratings.

I am scoring a dinghy series using PY ratings. I downloaded the 2015 PN ratings file and have pointed Sailwave to the folder using Setup -> Global options.

However when I enter a boat class, Sailwave supplies a PN rating that is different from those in the text file. For example the Kestrel is shown for 2015 with PN of 1025 but Sailwave scores it as 1044–much to the delight of the helm.

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards

Hi Ian,

Could be a few things but check

There is not already a rating for that class that has been entered in that series file.

If you over ride a rating Sailwave will remember it.

Could be that your file in not the one that Sailwave is using

If you look in Help - Logbook it will tell you where it loaded the ratings file from and how many ratings it loaded

You can change the location of the ratings file in

Setup - Global options - Folders

You can also force Sailwave to set the ratings to those in the file by ticking the box

Auto set competitor ratings in the Edit scoring system - Rating system

These take effect when you score

Let me know if this solves your problem and if you need any other help
