Effects for Sailwave sailing results and scoring software including alternative calulation of series results.
Download the file for the effect(s) you want:
Copy it to the Sailwave effects folder. You can open this up within Sailwave
by choosing
Setup → Global options → Folders → My script files → View folder content.
Add the effect when publishing from Sailwave by choosing the Effects button from the final screen before publication where the destination and file name are selected.
These effects only modify the scores and rankings that are displayed in a browser (providing JavaScript is not disabled), the results stored in the html file output by Sailwave are unchanged.
Because of this, using these effects for the publication of final results as an html file is not recommended and you should either:
implement the alternative scoring rules in the Sailwave file (e.g. by deleting non-qualifying competitors) and publish the results without the effect; or
double-check the scoring and ranking applied by the effect in a browser and then save as a PDF file for publication.
This is designed to implement the following changes to RRS 2020-2024:
Rule A2.2 is replaced with the following: "A2.2 A boat that has come to the starting area for at least [(20% of the total number of races sailed in the series) + 1, rounded down] qualifies for the series and she shall be scored for the whole series."
Rule A5.3 shall apply and is amended after the final comma as follows: "and a boat that did not come to the starting area shall be scored points for the finishing place one more than the greater of the number of boats qualifying for the series and the number that came to the starting area."
This is designed to implement the following change to RRS 2020-2024 in addition to the changes above for the Count Only Qualifiers effect.
Use with caution this effect does not currently alter the number of discards to take account of races that have been excluded as not sailed.
