I’ll issue an updated version shortly but in the mean time should anyone have an issue - it is not all codes that cause an issue
If you get the message
Click the Edit result and then when the result is display just click the OK to save it - This clears the error - Repeat the rescore and do the same for any other similar errors
In the case of the example Colin provided this was 3 times
For the more advanced users
Save the blw file and edit it with a text editor - search for and delete any line that starts “rrecpos”,“0”, - that is remove the line completely - save the file

See attached.
score series (one group)
delete the first 10 competitors
use the reorder tool on each race
score - get the “must be positive numbers” message
(ignore the fact that the redress should be for a different # of points with 10 competitors removed).
i’m happy to debug if you send me the latest source.
Cheers,

Breaking this down into two topics
a) Place ># competitors
What are the general thoughts on this? - should be easy enough to remove - or is it a good safety net for when people occidentally enter the Sailnumber as the position
Basically I think it only happens if you delete chunks of competitors - If you exclude them it is not an issue
Only scenario that I can think this is likely to happen is if you are deleting fleets to create a sub file and the results of the fleets were scored inline.
Personally I’ve never experience a problem where running the Tools reassign recorded place on each race hasn’t fixed this - Agree that is another task albeit a quick one.
In all other cases it is highlighting a genuine error - May be a good solution would be to display the error first time but allow it to continue - Any thoughts?
b) Must be positive number
As far as I can tell the Tools rearrange recorded places works fine - No problem with code results at all
I use the tool very regularly without problems.
I know I have encountered that message once in the past but can’t remember what was the cause.
Anyone got a sample file that gives that message and I’ll look into it

We had exactly the same thing last week.
Remove some competitors (to get Nationals data form Euros data) and rescore. Complains that place > #competitors (I think that check needs to be removed - it’s too restrictive). So used the reorder tool but then trying to rescore we got the “must be a positive” error or all the code results (i think). Something is screwy with the reorder logic.

Hi Richard,
First question is for each race were you entering the finishing positions for each fleet as the position in that fleet or were all the fleets entered as a contiguous list and then let Sailwave sort them into fleets? Rearrange recorded places works well for either mode. You can drag and drop them into the order you want or you can select one and move it up and down as required.
If you are entering the position in the fleet then you really need to specify the starts in the “Edit race” - If you got the message xxx is not in a start for race yy then it is a good bet that is true as I’ve never seen Sailwave get this wrong. (Some of the early versions can’t remember exactly which but certainly earlier than 2.6 would sometimes report the wrong person but only if you had a mistake and someone was not in a start for the race) If you can still reproduce the message and still think there is something wrong please send me the file and I’ll investigate. I’ve had people tell me before that they are definitely in a start but Sailwave has always been correct and they weren’t
When did you get the “Recorded places must be positive numbers” I guess that it maybe the - in -26 which it is complaining about (possibly)?

During Fed Week, on a particularly difficult day, one of the race teams lost track of one of their fleets and, to cut a long story short, the following day we had to rearrange several recorded positions. >Tools >Rearrange Recorded Places didn’t look too helpful at the time so we resorted to changing recorded positions via Edit Result.
After the dust had settled I had another look at >Rearrange Recorded Places and found that you can limit the competitors to a “start”. I further found that by defining a start as all the competitors in one fleet I could get >Rearrange Recorded Places to do what I wanted. Except when I came to rescore…
I got this message once for each fleet prior to the one being rearranged:
Version: 2.17.0
Installed: Unknown
Date: 25 August 2014
Time: 19:49:21
Race: R1
Competitor: Event 01 - Fast Asymmetric - CHERUB 3215 Clive Everest & Alex Everest
Result: DNC
Event 01 - Fast Asymmetric - CHERUB 3215 Clive Everest & Alex Everest is not in a start for race 1.
Then:
Version: 2.17.0
Installed: Unknown
Date: 25 August 2014
Time: 19:50:10
Race: R1
Competitor: Event 09 - RS200 - RS 200 1370 Paul Barnes & Jane Barnes
Result: RDG-26
Recorded places must be positive numbers
But the rescore did work!
So what am I to deduce from those messages?
And is there a better way?
TIA
