Hi and thanks for making a great tool.
Can someone tell me if and how, If I am starting a new Race series is
there a way to add previous entries from other races w\out having to
reenter all of the information again.
Our club uses this software for all of our local events so we have a
lot of repeat entries. But I either have to edit a previous race's
information and save as a new race, or I have to reenter all
competitor information in a new Race. My question is there a way that
If I start a new Race that SailWave can remember previous entries so
that I can just add them to a new race ?
Thanks Mike
In the current ver1.93:
‘File, Import competitors from a Sailwave file’
does it…

I've used this with 1.92, and sometimes had a problem. If you add new
competitors, then import others from a different series, you may find
the competitor list gets confused and shows one competitor with more
than one start and another without a start. I have had to delete one
or two imported competitors then add them as new. Haven't tried it
with 1.93 yet.
Be careful doing this. I have done using 1.92 and ran into problems. I
had a series where I had added new competitors, then imported a few
from another series. When I calculated the results, I had a conflict,
in that one competitor was reported as having 2 starts. The only way I
could sort it was to delete the competitor and then add him again as
new. Interestingly the problem competitor appeared twice in the delete
competitor list.
Hi!
Just had a regatta this weekend. Experienced some of the same kind of problem. We used 193sat.
I was not the scorer, but “around” , so they called me. There was som odd behavior I’ve never seen before in SW.
I’m not sure yet, but it looked like changes was not effective immediately.
Also in this regatta, things was based upon another similar regatta…
What I actually saw, was when giving a redress (RDG) changing boat 6 to 1, that SW changed all the other position one down. Except the other 1st. I closed SW, started up and everything worked… Strange!

There have been some bugs in the 1.93 development versions.
The latest is here
www.sailwave.com/binary/sw1930605042134.exe
This was in an email from Colin entitled ‘Flights Scoring’ sent 4th May
Colin recommend that anybody using a 1.93 pre-release, update to this one.
Lots may have missed it due to the title
Regards
Ralph
