Dear all,

I have found the Sailwave scoring program to be very useful but can anyone tell me how to

use the program for team racing?

Thanking you all.

Now, this all depends on what YOU mean by TEAM RACING. Pure Team Racing (2 on 2; 3 on 3; 4 on 4 etc.,) cannot be coped with by the program. Further information requested.
