We also screenshot and enter result manually into sailwave. (Our NoR adopts appendix A with minor tweaks rather than VRs high points system)
Someone said sailwave doesn't let you allocate a place to a competitor. The easiest way is to set up the boatname field as the competitor's Pseduo. Then use "Sailnum Wizard" with Boatname. Its as simple as typing the first 3 or 4 characters (less if your sailors name themselves nicely!). Once unique - hit return, next place is offered, hit return. I can enter 20 results in about 2-3 minutes. We have a 5 race series. Results posted about 20mins post race provided no issues.
It wouldn't feel like a lot of effort from VR to export the result to an email that is sent to the person who set up the Custom Race. If they did that in pretty much any format (as long as its not a picture) - I'd be able to scrape the content and import to Sailwave.
Only contentious issue might be if you stopped the race before the last boat finished but had considered it finished... Can still be fixed in SW.
