I am looking for a solution for our local sail club competition. We use a high-score system with a custom formula. I am looking for a way to show both placement as points at the same time.
I understand this could be considered cluttered and unnecessary but a lot of sailors have gotten used to this.
It also is easier to understand the points given. A alternative could be to able to show the placing in the series and points in the race results, as far as I can tell these are now linked and both show the same, ie points or placing.
Is there any way to configure Sailwave or the html output to show both? Or show placings in the overview and points in the race result?
The normal way to show the results of a race is to have the place in
that race as the first column, then a bunch of stuff (like sail number
and skipper name, etc.) and the points assigned for that place as the
last column.
The normal way to show the results of a series is to show the place in
the series as the first column, then a bunch of stuff (like sail number
and skipper name, etc.), then the points from each race and then the
total points that count for the series in the last column.
What is it that you want to do differently from the normal way?

If I understand your question correctly, I think you are wanting to do the same as we do in my Club.
We use the Chipstead High point scoring system for one of our series, and as the allocation of points to places varies with the number of competitors in the race, we need to show both place and points in the results.
When you have scored the series, after entering all the data for a race, make sure that “Scored Rank” is selected as the option to view in the table cells before you publish the results.
You will then get a Series Summary table which shows the place in each race, with the total points and overall position also shown, and in the table for each race, you will see the position and the points awarded for each competitor.

Its been a while and I have tried several things to get a result similar to the attachment.
I do understand I am pushing it to get points and scores mixed in the same list though.
The attachment is showing the list we used previously, a excel sheet with points and rank for each race mixed.
Thanks to the reply by Ian I have made some progress.
Publishing the results like Ian suggested would be the thing we are looking for, but this doesn’t seem to work.
We are using a custom high score formula “5+(r-p+1)” and rank competitors by class.
Scored points gives me a points overview summary and places for each race in the per race list.
Scored place gives me a place overview summary and total points, but not the actual points for each race in the per race overview.
Ideally I am looking for a overview showing total points and placings for each race, and a per race extract showing place and points given. So a per race overview showing place and score together.
The “Nett” colum was hidden in publish causing the points given to be left out in the per race overview.
Now that I have turned that back on I have the result I am looking for. Even though the layout is still rather long with overview per class and separate race results for the series. Its a full season of consecutive Sundays.
I now have a overview showing placing and total points, and a per race showing place and points for that race.
