I am wondering if it is possible for Sailwave to score a long series that takes place at different venues by scoring the best X out of Y (for example the best 3 out of 5 regattas - NOT individual races)? In the Ontario Windsurfing Circuit the series is advertised as the best 3 of 5 results. There are 5 different regattas across the province and competitors get to count their best 3 of 5 events. Is this type of scoring a possibility? The Sailwave file is posted in the files section under OSA 2012 #2.
I have the same problem with our series of Opens. I have one Sailwave file in which I record the overall result from each Open, and separate files for each Open showing the individual races. Hmm does that make sense?
I therefore end up with a family of files that are not linked, other than manually.

I have thought of automating it fully but its not as easy as it sounds because at some events you find windsurfers use a different sail with a different sail number. And at different events they get enter with different spelling of the names or abbreviated names such as Robert orRob or Dick etc. which makes the automation very difficult. Some even change class during the year.
