Score results in case if not all series took a place

Dear all!

I am representing City Yacht Club in Riga, Latvia. We have also youth sailing school and using SailWave for Optimist races

Sometimes because of bad weather or no wind we are skipping some series. According to our rules, In that case we are not removing worst result from the score. I was searching if I can do same by using the software, but unfortunately i didn’t manage to find such option.

Could you please support me how can i ensure our needs within the SailWave.

Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards

Hi Sabina,

For some reason your message has only just arrived.

  You need to to set-up the discard profile according to what the

Sailing Instructions say. The discard profile is set-up by

  • clicking Scoring system on the Tool bar

  • clicking Series tab of the window that pops up

  • entering the appropriate information in the discard box

  • then click OK to exit Scoring system window

  • save Sailwave file
    If you have already created a discard profile than Sailwave will
    automatically take things into account because it only applies
    discards to the races considered completed, i.e. have had at lest
    one boat finish according to the Racing Rules of Sailing.

    You might find it helpful to download Mark Townsend's Sailwave
    

User Guide available from http://www.abyc.org/upload/Sailwave_ABYC_User_Guide.pdf

  If you need more help a translation into English of the scoring

section of the Sailing Instructions would be help me to help you
in more detail. If a translation is a problem I might be able to
contact to do a translation for me. I could also try Google
translate.

Kind regards,

Huw
