Race management

[Yacht Club Monaco]

Hello,

I created a club hoping to be able to manage races. My understanding is that the only way to organise an event is to create private races (being one of the participants all the time) and manually doing that for every race. I'd love to be wrong 🙂

Is there any Race Comity tool/interface to create and manage a serie without being a boat of the race?

Thanks for your help

Sadly, it appears not.

This is an important feature to this game become the effectivelly mainstream.

We looked at having one user act as race committee for multiple divisions but this approach isn't really compatible with VR custom races.  It could work, probably not very well.

Our solution is to put one RC rep in each division of 20 boats, we're calling this person the host.  Host duties include creating the race, starting the race, and taking screenshots of the results before they disappear.  The host can race too.

A lot has to happen outside the game like registration, setting divisions, sending out race codes, collecting results from hosts, and scoring the series.  Not ideal but it works.

Thank you. That has answered a lot of my questions about setting up our own race series.

i use scoreit results system  http://www.sailingresults.com.au/ScoreItV2/Public/index.php and pre load the sailors into it. when the results screen appears i just click on each boat in order and the results are done. 

also I have everyone in a Discord server so we can chat and argue etc.. it is good fun.
