If your regatta has more than one class or division -- ORC A, ORC B, PHRF Cruising, and so on -- you can set them up once and then assign boats to them. This isn't required; if you skip it, every boat you add is simply ungrouped.
Creating classes
Open your regatta's Edit Regatta Details page and scroll to Configure Classes and Races (optional). For each class, enter:
- Code -- a short label like A, B, or PHRF1.
- Name -- the full division name.
- Description -- optional, shown alongside the code elsewhere in the app.
- Mins++ -- how many minutes after the first class's start this class is planned to start, if you're staggering starts.
Use the copy icon to duplicate a row (handy for a set of similarly-named classes), or the trash icon to delete one. To remove a class you've already saved, just erase its code or name and save. Classes are per-regatta -- there's nothing to set up in advance at the organization level.
Assigning boats to a division
Divisions are assigned from the Assign Boats page (reachable from your regatta's menu). Every boat you've added, across all rating types, appears there with a Class dropdown in its row -- pick the division and it's assigned immediately, no save button needed. Picking "None" removes the boat from its division.
Using divisions on the analysis page
On the Regatta and Course Analysis page, a division dropdown appears above the boat rating tabs once you've created at least one division. Selecting a division does two things:
- Filters every rating tab's boat list down to that division's boats.
- Turns on click-to-assign: click a boat's name in the filtered list to add or remove it from the division without leaving the page or opening Assign Boats.
The division average column
When you select boats and generate time predictions, a Div Avg column appears at the right-hand end of the results table for each division represented among your selected boats. It shows that division's average predicted time for each course, with a tooltip giving the average wind speed and direction used. Click the average time itself to open a combined boat report.
