How do I import a series summary?

Last edited 1st June 2018 by Jon

Available from the File menu, File+ImportSeriesSummary operates like the import competitor list facility, while also allowing you to import the series race results as positions, codes or elapsed times from a CSV file. This can be useful to get a whole series into Sailwave after copying from a web page or spreadsheet.

Races are created in Sailwave as required.

For example, a simple two race series might look like this:-

class, sailno, helm, club, r1, r2

Dart 18, 6885, Colin Jenkins, Mumbles, 1:05:06, DNF
Stealth R, 516, Mark Pressdee, Mumbles, 48:20, OCS
Topper, 234221, Joe Bloggs, Haleiwa, 1:20:23, 1:23:01
Tiger F18, 1111, John Smith, Honolulu, 40:22, 40:01

You can specify the number of laps associated with an elapsed time like this:-

elapsed | laps

Spaces either side of the | are ignored; for example:-

46:40|3
46:40 | 3

So the above series summary example with laps might look like this:-

class, sailno, helm, club, r1, r2

Dart 18, 6885, Colin Jenkins, Mumbles, 1:05:06|3, DNF
Stealth R, 516, Mark Pressdee, Mumbles, 48:20|2, OCS
Topper, 234221, Joe Bloggs, Haleiwa, 1:20:23|3, 1:23:01
Tiger F18, 1111, John Smith, Honolulu, 40:22|2, 40:01
