How can I apply different discards to each fleet? For example, we have a Thursday series of 12 races and there are 7 classes or "fleets" (PY yachts, Shrimpers, Ajax etc)
I set the discard profile and that's OK for the classes that actually did 12 races but some classes decided not to sail some days because of the conditions or clashes with championships etc so their profile needs to reflect say only 8 races. In the past I decided that as sailwave has the discard profile set as a global setting, thus applying to all boats in a series, if a class fails to turn up that's just tough but our commodore insists we should apply the profile for the races actually sailed by each class.The ABYC manual is not much help but I did try! Any help much appreciated. A formula might be better than the o,o,o,1,2,3 etc method.

In the scoring system "series scoring" tab you can define the discard profile as an expression. The variable s represents the number of races sailed. So an expression of s-4 should do what you want. i.e. discard s-4 races leaving 4 not discarded. When only 1,2 or 3 races have been sailed the negative result is forced to be 0, so it should work OK in that context too.
