New Stuff!

This blog has been quiet of late but that’s not because the SailEvent team hasn’t been busy. Far from it – we have been actively working with a major sailing club to power up the SailEvent experience.

The club, which shall remain anonymous, uses SailEvent for everything from club racing to world championships. Thanks to SailEvent they now have a smooth and efficient workflow from event promotion through entry form and safety monitoring to publishing results. That in turn brings enhanced  management information,  more control and improved competitor communication yet with less manpower and greater efficiency.

It’s now time to make this good stuff available to all. This is the first of a series of blog posts introducing the new features and functions.

The starting point is the Events page. We’ll be covering the most significant additions in subsequent posts but here is a selection of goodies for you

New event fields. We’ll cover them later but Event Start Date provides the opportunity to sort and filter events by both name and date.

The Sessions tab lists all sailing sessions scheduled for an event.

Competitor counts when sorting and filtering competitors. Now you can see straightaway how many there are in, for instance, Fast Handicap.

A new competitor field – Alternate ID. Use it for tally numbers, bow numbers and the like.
