We have an award that goes to the boat with the lowest total corrected time for all races in a regatta. In other words, add each boats corrected time from each race together and sort from lowest to highest.
A DNC, DNS, DNF etc. in any race disqualifies the competitor.
How do I set this up in SailWave?
I appologize if there has been something similar answered before, but I'm new and could not find anything like this.

The section “How Do I Combine Leg Times Into A Race Time?” on page 65 of the Sailwave Users Guide describes how combining leg times to give you a race time. You could just as easily combine multiple race times to give you the result you want.

How Do I Combine Leg Times Into A Race Time?
In the Edit+Race window you can tick the auto elapsed time check box to automatically set the elapsed times for that race to be the accumulation of the elapsed times of some of the other races. This is performed every time the series is scored.
You define the races to accumulate by a comma separated list of race numbers. If you only what this race to count for the purposes of scoring the series you can mark the other races so that they are discarded - to do this tick the Discard me first check box in Edit+Race. You then have to setup an appropriate discard profile.
For example if you have an event comprising two separate races but you want to score the event based on the accumulation of the two
races you would proceed as follows:-
Set up a series of 3 races. The first two races will be the actual races. The third race isn’t physically sailed as such but its elapsed time will be the accumulation of race 1 and race 2 times when we score the event. Rename the races if required. E.g. “Leg 1”, “Leg 2” and “Overall”. These names come out on the published results are well as being shown on the screen.
Set the appropriate rating system and other scoring system options; see later about how to choose a discard profile.
Edit race 1 and race 2 ticking the Discard me first check box for each.
Edit race 3 ticking the Auto score check box and entering 1,2 into the entry field next to it. i.e. we’re saying that race 3 elapsed times will be the accumulation of the elapsed times of race 1 and race 2.
Set the discard profile Edit+ScoringSystem? to 0,0,2. i.e. when 3 races are sailed we discard 2 - so because race 1 and race 2 are marked as ‘Discard me first’ they’ll get discarded leaving race 3 as the only contribution to the series results. “Discard me first” does not mean that the results for such a race is always discarded; rather, that when discarding results discard the results from races marked “Discard me first” before considering points.
When publishing, include the details of all races so that you can see the overall times and overall corrected times as well as the details for the two real races.
You can publish after race 1 if you want to. If any result for race 1 or race 2 is a retirement code instead of an elapsed time this code is propagated into race 3. This is necessary otherwise anybody that sailed one leg will get a low accumulated time! i.e. if they are DNF in race 1 or race 2 they are DNF overall.
