Managing Races
Navigate to Race Operations → Scoring Fleets → [Fleet Name] → Races (the flag icon).
- Adding a Race
-
Click Add Race and fill in the race form:
- Race Number — the race number within the series. If you set a Number of Races when creating the fleet, race records are pre-created with sequential numbers starting at 1.
- Name — optional label (e.g. "Race 1", "Medal Race", "Gold Fleet Race 3").
- Date — the date the race was sailed. This appears below column headers in the standings table.
- Course Distance — required for Time-on-Distance fleets. Enter the distance in nautical miles.
- Scoring Basis — visible only for Time-on-Time fleets. Defaults to Inherit from fleet default. Set to Average lap time to override the fleet default for this race; set to Total elapsed time to revert a race back to standard timing in an average-lap fleet. See Scoring Systems.
- Certificate Rating — visible for all handicap fleets (Time-on-Time and Time-on-Distance). Leave blank to use each entry's manually entered rating. Set these three fields when scoring from ORC or IRC certificates:
- Rating Method — which rating line to use from each boat's certificate: TCC (IRC), GPH, TOD, TOT, PLT, or PN.
- Wind Speed — required for TOD and TOT (which vary by conditions). Select the wind band that best represents the race: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, or 20 knots.
- Course Type — optionally narrow to Windward/Leeward, Offshore, or Inshore if the certificate has separate numbers for different course shapes. Leave blank (or set to "Any course") to use the number that applies to all courses.
- Race Status
-
Each race has a status that controls whether it is included in score calculation. Only races with status Sailed appear as columns in the standings and are counted for throwout purposes.
- Scheduled — race has not yet been sailed. Not included in scoring.
- Sailed — race has been completed; finishes can be recorded. Included in scoring.
- Abandoned — race was started but not completed. Not included in scoring.
- Postponed — race has not yet started. Not included in scoring.
- Cancelled — race will not be sailed. Not included in scoring.
- Deleting a Race
- Click the trash icon on the race row. Deleting a race permanently removes all finishes and scores recorded for that race. This action cannot be undone.
