About Scoring Assistant
The Scoring Assistant is intended as a tool to note the starting-time and register finishing-time in
a Regatta sailing events. Some of the weather impacts are reduced by replacing the pen and
paper with a tablet. The data integration improves the scoring in SailWave and the imported
data in SailWave® minimize the risk of typing and reading errors.
SailWave® is used to manage the competing boats in the regatta and exporting the competitor list
to MS Excel and then to a comma separated CSV file.
Transfer the CSV file to the tablet and import the competitor list in the Scoring Assistant app.
Enter the starting time for the 1st start in the race and the time between starts if there is more than
one start in the race.
Preparations are made ready for scoring the competing boats at the finish line as soon as all the
starts in the race are done.
Bow number or sail number are used to identify the competing boats as they approach the finish
line and the finish time is saved by pressing the Finish.
The scores are stored in a database and saved to a CSV file as soon as all the competing boats
have finished or a disqualification is registered. The CSV file is now to be imported in
SailWave®.
Import the results in SailWave® and make the last changes or updates before doing the race
scoring. This could for example be protests.
The length of the race course is not vital for class races but crucial in races with a mix of boat
classes
Have fun.

Cant load file keeps saying file error. No help button. No instructions apart from above. Do you have to set the competitor list up the same as what's in the pictures? Would love to try it but cant get it working.

This one's a bit tricky because it is not a stand-alone app, but relies on you to be familiar already with Sailwave (http://www.sailwave.com/). Sailwave is made available to yacht clubs large and small in exchange for promoting it, and so is a very popular way to score sailboat races. To use this Scoring Assistant efficiently, you'll need to transfer the CSV file back and forth between Sailwave and the Scoring Assistant. For that you need a USB or Bluetooth connection between tablet and PC (Sailwave is written in the Java programming language, so it runs on Macs and on Linux too). You can even email the CSV files back and forth if you have a reliable data connection. If managing all that sounds too technical or complicated, you will not find this program useful. But if you give yourself time to learn how this is intended to work, the Scoring Assistant can be a great time-saver and a handy way to mark finish times on the water, allowing Sailwave to do its calculations later.
