FAQs

Typically 80–90% on handwritten sail numbers with a good photo. Two passes of the AI vote on each card; agreement = high confidence, disagreement is flagged LOW in yellow so the recorder pays attention. Always review the entries before tapping Transmit — the app treats OCR as a first draft, not a final answer.

Yes. On the On Water tab, tap any race in Submitted Races to reopen it. Edit any row, then tap Update — a new version is saved with the previous one in history (tap the EDITED badge to see the trail). A full delete button is inside the edit screen.

On the review screen, tap the position number on that row to open the code picker: DNF (did not finish), DNS (did not start), OCS (on course side at start), RAF (retired after finishing), RET, DSQ, or DNC. The remaining positions auto-renumber.

Single-day is for a regular regatta — one or two days of races scored by sail number. Series mode is for ongoing weekly racing (Thursday Night, etc.): roster is keyed by skipper name so the same person can show up in a different boat each week, scores accumulate across the season, and drops are applied per night rather than across the whole series.

Drops follow RRS Appendix A defaults — 0 drops at 0-3 races, 1 drop at 4-6 races, 2 drops at 7+. You can override the count from Settings (gear icon). In series mode the drop count applies per race night, not across the whole season: two nights of 7 races each → drop 2 from each night, 4 total.

They simply don't appear in that night's standings — no DNC penalty for a night they weren't signed up for. The penalty only applies if they were checked in but didn't finish a race they entered.

Just share the regatta URL — same /e/<code> for everyone. There's no separate "shore login." Anyone with the link can view live, scores update in real time. The race committee on the boat and shore staff are looking at the same page.

Tap the field on the review row and type the correct number. Low-confidence reads are highlighted in yellow specifically so they're easy to spot. The picture you uploaded is shown right above the entries so you can compare side-by-side.

Settings (gear icon) → Merge skippers. Pick the duplicate and the canonical name, and every roster entry + historical race finisher gets re-keyed under one name.

Useful when more than one RC member is recording the same race independently. Each recorder photographs their card; submissions stack up locally. The app compares them — full agreement transmits straight to shore; disagreements open a reconcile view where you pick the correct value per position. Disputed positions can be deferred for video review.

iPhones default to HEIC, which the API doesn't read. Fix: Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible on the phone. Alternative: take a screenshot of the photo (screenshots are always PNG and work fine).

Two ways. Copy buttons per race in the Scoring tab put position-and-name (or position-and-sail) on the clipboard, ready to paste into whatever scoring tool you use. Export all to CSV at the top of the Scoring tab dumps everything for archival.

For real-time sync to shore, yes — but if you lose signal, the app keeps working locally and syncs once you reconnect. There's also an SMS Backup button that copies results to your clipboard and opens the Messages app, so you can text them to shore over voice/SMS coverage when data's spotty.

Series end date is editable in Settings — just set it to a past date when the season ends; the directory status badge flips to Concluded automatically. To delete a regatta entirely (including every race and check-in), Settings → Delete this regatta at the bottom; you'll be asked to type the regatta code back as a safeguard.
