If you enter a start time, the finish time must be clock time, not elapsed
time. If you have the elapsed time, the start time is irrelevant to the
scoring system. I assume from the way you describe the problem that you have
all clock times. If, on the other hand, you have an elapsed time from a
certain point and must then subtract 10 minutes or 15 minutes or whatever
based on class (I have seen this at one club) then the way to do this is to
set the start time for the first class to midnight, the next to 00:10, etc.
This will allow the scoring to work properly and you can edit the HTML
output after the fact to enter actual start times if needed.

Thanks for your help guys. I remember when I tried to do this before,
there was a problem. Maybe it was that you could enter a start time,
but then the finish had to be an elapsed time, it couldn't be a clock
time, or vice versa.
I'll re-try and see where I get with it now.
cheers

Hi Jenny,
The way to do it as present is either what Bill said, or, prior to
using the
sail wizard, enter the start time for one (any) boat in each fleet
and then
Sailwave will 'catch on' as to what's happening when using the
sailnum
wizard.
However, I realise that this is not obvious and a little clunky and
will add
a tool to actually set the start times for all boats in a race on a
per
fleet/class basis; as promised to a lot of folk...

Subject: [sailwave] Different fleet start timesColin
This was something I was asking about last year, and not sure if
you've now included it, or are planning to shortly.One organisation I know that would like to use Sailwave needs to be
able to input different start times for each fleet over for each
race
of a series, such that they can then input all results together.
Two start boats each control about 10 fleets starting at 5 minute
intervals and a further boat controls 3 fleets.At present each fleet would have to be entered as a completely
separate event. This would vastly increase the time spent entering
results which come in from the committee boat/race box as a series
of
clock times with all fleets mixed together.
The only way around it at the moment would be to create some kind of
data entry system for the times and then feed the results into
Sailwave as a csv file etc. This isn't impossible but would be
tedious.Jenny Fletcher
