Sailti

Hi all,

I’ve just learned that IODA has moved completely to Sailti for scoring.

I’m trying to decide if I’m up to going through that learning curve, or if I just suggest they find another scorer for our upcoming continental championship.

Anyone have any experience with Sailti that they can share?

Hi Andy,

Theres a couple of these integrated systems around. Since they’re web based, they tout instant results publishing ( or at least when they get near an internet connection.)

Regatta Network, out of SF is a west coast example. And US Sailing has its own a scoring system which is advertised as wonderful.

After experience with several, we came back to SW. You can instant publish results to your or their website, and handle all manner of goofy scoring requirements.

Thing is, the integrated systems are all quite simple, by definition, being new and modern, etc. So I doubt you’ll find Sailti challenging. And since it’s a one class event, you should be fine.

Hi Andy,

  From what I have seen on your posts here on the SUG and in our

email exchanges you are quite well versed in computing. I don’t
think you will have any problems, it is different to Sailwave
using an on-line system.

  I have used one twice now [the same system and not SailTi]. Both

times without any prior practice and doing it on the job. The
biggest hurdle I had was finding the options I needed. Especially
when I needed to configure a medal race. Then reassuring the media
that the results were correct after the medal race because the
system did not show the points double for the medal race as
everyone expected; it doubled the points in a different way. [I had all the results in Sailwave as backup and was able to show that everything was OK just a different presentation to what was expected.]

  Perhaps my biggest frustration was that the system was in two

parts, registration/competitor data and results. So if you had to
change competitor data, it had to be done in the
registration/competitor part and then you had to go to the results
part and sync the data.

  The system I used also coped with protests and Jury and marked

those that needed a scoring action. Still on a couple of occasions
had to go and talk to the Jury over there decisions because the
detail was lacking on the exact scoring change wanted.

Kind regards,

Huw

HI Andy,

I’ve seen problems with integrated systems like; unable to delete a competitor because the boat had paid, RDG points have to manually recalculated after more races were entered, fleets racing results had to be entered by day and time, etc.

I’m not sure if Sailti was used for the most recent Optimist Worlds, but the letter scores in Emerald Final series are incorrect. According to the Si’s the Emerald letter scores should have been 64 points. It’s not going to change the awards, but it’s incorrect.
