It looks like I discovered a bug where SailWave doesn't maintain
integrity of the data. I had three races, each with 7 starts.
Each "Start" had a different start time. However, when the results are
calculated and then published, incorrect start times are used. I
suspect those are original start times set when I created the races
and "starts". They don't show up anywhere, except in the results. When
you look at the Edit Race/Starts dialog the correct times show.
I had to manually modify over 100 results. It is possible that I
entered the finish times and then modified the start times. Still the
program should be able to reconcile the data.
I am a software engineer and am willing to look into it if the authors
are too busy.

Hi Roman,
Yes, to maintain backward comparibility with earlier versions I had to allow
each competitor to have a separate start time when I did starts. I need to
do something so that the race start time is always used. I've addde it to
th elist.
