Hi,
I'm about to embark on a quest to develop some code/tables to record and display sailing race results in a series.
What I will be aiming for is:
Results for each event: (includes discarded races which would be striked out)
eg:
Event1 :R1 :R2 :R3 :R4 :R5 :R6 : Points
Boat20 : 1 : 2 : 3 : 1 : 1 : 3 : 8
Boat30 : 2 : 1 : 1 : 3 : 2 : 2 : 8
Boat40 : 3 : 3 : 2 : 2 : 3 : 1 : 11
These results would be posted manually (including discards) and feed into:
Series Results, same format and will contain discards too ...
However, before I start on this, does anyone know if this has already been done in some guise that I could tweak to fit my needs?
Thanks!

| I've done something for cars, but you could adapt it to boats. Although it would depend on your discard rule, the car series I wrote my stuff for has a "drop worst round" rule, you can see it at http://www.v8central.com/v8supercar/2003points.asp |

Discard is same as yours, and as we can hold 6/7 races during a weekend they also get to discard 1 or 2 races from that weekend before working out the position for that open.
The final score for that weekend then goes to the series ...
Would be great if I could see your code, it would give me something to work on rather than going from scratch! |

| OK, I rustle up a description and diagram in the next few days. It's a good db design than any smart ASP code though. |

Hi,
I'm going to start trying to do this myself, but I'm in a quandary I'd like to (eventually) write it so it will populate the DB from a Sailwave file, and that has 1 race per record, but I'll need to learn how to parse that file too, it is a basic txt file (with .blw extension) so can't be that hard! - where do I start though!?
The file is downloadable Here. Can anyone point me in the right direction please!
Thankyou!
