Hi Colin
Is there any update on the ability to register one sailor/boat into multiple divisions.
Eg. Portsmouth overall, Plus one design class, plus formula class. assuming that you have collected time of finish.
Thanks
Mark

Hi Dave,
>I'm hoping to use Sailwave to help with the National circuit results of my
class (Merlin Rocket). Although this may seem simple, the Silver Tiller
circuit is comprised of a number of events in three different categories;
sea, open and restricted water. To qualify on the circuit, each helm must
count at least one result from each category; is it possible to configure a
discard profile to allow for this? <
There is currently a facility to force a single race to be included. The
todo list has a note to extend this to force inclusion of 'N out of these M
specified races'. I can't give you a date but it's on the list.
>As a further twist, the points awarded to the winners of each event vary
according to the number of entries at each event - a win at a large event is
worth more than a win at a small one. Presumably it is possible to weight
the points awarded to reflect this using the custom low point option, but
how do I configure this? The point 'discount' is done on a tiered basis;
less than 19 entries, 20 - 29 entries, 30 - 39 etc.<
To accommodate scoring systems like Cox-Sprague and their derivatives I've
designed but not implemented a new way of specifying points in a scoring
profile. Essentially you define tuples specifying the points to score when
you finish in 'this' position and 'this' many boats came to the start area.
That's the basic idea and you will be able to specify a file containing this
data which can be created by hand, but there will be some nice user
interfaces to it. Again on the todo list...
I'm rearranging a huge part of Sailwave at the moment to make it more
configurable from a user POV while hopefully keeping it simple to use
out-of-the-box using a default 'configuration'.

Colin Jenkins

Hi Mark,
No progress. Currently the best you can do is give everybody a start/finish
time and assign them to a fleet. Then score 'across' fleets and 'score
fleets separately'. i.e. just the two variants. I'm currently doing huge
amounts of work on Sailwave2 and I will get to it... It'll probably be
something fairly generic involving an expression whereby the existing 'score
fleets separately' becomes a specific instance of it if you see what I mean.
Regards,
Colin
PS: enjoying Carl's posts a lot...

Hi Mark,
Further to my last post, as I said the current facilities give you two out
of 3 of your requirements. But you could create a rating system that
assigned ratings based on the classes formula then score across fleets and
you get formula results. You'd use the mass rating update facility to swap
numbers.
