[sailwave] Re: Different fleet start times

Jenny, let me know if you have any problems and I'll fix them while I'm in
that area...CJ Start/finish times can be of the forms:-

hh:mm
hh:mm:ss
hhmm
hhmmss

Notice that mm:ss or mmss is not valid. i.e. start time or finish time must
specify the hour - I think this is sensible - hh:mm being more of an elapsed
time specification. Moot?

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...

Colin

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.
