[sailwave] US Opti red white and blue fleet scoring

I am sorry, but I have used Sailwave for years without a problem, from major Olympic Trials, to 300 boat Opti Championships. I have always been able to separate Red, White, Blue, and Green fleeters after a one-finish list of places. Now, no matter what I try to use in Sailwave, there is no way to allow each Fleet or Flight have separate finish results. In other words, it does separate the fleets, but the scores are based on the entire series of boats, not on the number within each fleet. You can’t have 20 Red Fleeters in 6 races have scores of 157 for a 5th place finish in the Red Fleet! I actually now have to score the races twice, once for separation of the fleets and then to manually count the finishes for each fleet. I would like to go back to the OLD SAILWAVE and use that program again. Please make the old program available on your web site. I have another race for Finn and Euro Nationals coming-up in 3 weeks and I do not want to look like a fool again. Thank you.

Hi Fred

All the options of 1.57 are still there but with lots & lots of improvements requested by users.

It sounds as though you need the old Score by Fleet button???

SW now allows users to score by whatever they want, not just the fleet column.

All you have to do is set up your own bespoke scoring system

If this does not help, please let me know

Regards

Ralph

I think I have figured out why this is. I'll sort it. Please do not go
back to the old version; I cannot maintain more than one version and
essentially they are the same; it's just that the new version is more
generalised - and obviously has some teething troubles. Please accept my
apologies for the inconvenience caused.

NB: to everybody, if you find a problem, please if possible, email me the
series (or include it as an attachment to your SUG message) so that I can
try it here directly - i.e. without having to recreate the scenario,
possibly incorrectly. Please include as much detail as possible. See the
guidelines in the help file.
