Hi Ted,
As long as it is just the double points element of the Medal Race which you need, and not the business of excluding everyone but the top ten, it’s easy enough. My Club has a Pursuit Race as part of the overall points series, and as there is only one race on that day and three on all the others, we score the Pursuit Race as triple points.
There is an option in the “User Interface” setup menu to specify that you want to use Race Weightings:
Then if you “Edit” the race(s) where you want to change the weighting, you will need to select each Start and edit that / them
In the “Edit Start” window, you will see a box to specify the weighting.
Our weighting is specified as 0.33 because we also have a box ticked in the “Edit Scoring System” tab to “Multiply race weights (divide for High point)”:
I don’t remember why we set that one, but set up as it is does produce “normal points x 3” for the Pursuit Race”.
Hope this helps!
Ian Day

Subject: [sailwave] Multiple Medal Races
Our short course racers were promised a ‘Double Points Day’, so I need three of the races in the middle of a series to be double points - effectively three medal races. I can’t see how to implement this? Is it possible?
One medal race is easy but if a select a second race as a medal the first is reset to standard points.
I’ve had a topic search but haven’t found anything useful. Any advice would be welcome.
