Notifications

Upwind24 can keep you posted on what happens at selected regattas – new notices, start lists, results, protests and penalties. Notifications arrive directly on your phone or computer, even when the Upwind24 page is closed. With filters, you only get the ones that concern your crew or the sailors from your club.

Good to know

You don’t need an account to turn on regatta notifications. They work in browsers that support push notifications – including Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.

Turn on regatta notifications

1. Open the page of the selected regatta – find it in the regatta list – and click Setup notifications in the regatta header.

   

2. In the Notification settings window, tick the events you want to be notified about.

3. Optionally, limit the notifications to a selected crew or club – see Filter notifications.

4. Click Subscribe to notifications. If your browser asks for permission to show notifications, allow it.

Once saved, you see the message Your notification settings have been updated successfully. From now on, Upwind24 sends notifications about the selected events. Clicking a notification opens the related regatta page – e.g. the notice board, the results or the start list.

Tip

The settings apply to one regatta. If you race in several regattas, turn on notifications on the page of each of them.

Notification events

The Notification settings window only lists the events that apply to the given regatta – e.g. protest and penalty notifications are available when the organizer uses the jury module.

Event	When you get a notification	Filter applies?
New notice on the notice board	The organizer has published a new notice on the Notice board.	no
New news article	The organizer has published a news article (when the regatta has news turned on).	no
New start list	A new start list has been published in one of the divisions.	yes
New race results	The results of one of the divisions have been updated.	yes
New protest application	A new protest has been published in the Jury tab.	yes
New RRS 42 penalty	A new penalty for breaking rule 42 of the Racing Rules of Sailing has been published.	yes

Filter notifications

In the lower part of the window, you can limit the notifications to those concerning a specific crew or club:

• Sailor name or sail number – choose a crew from the entries of this regatta.
• Sailing club – choose a club. A crew matches when at least one of its sailors belongs to this club.

The filter works for start lists, results, protests and penalties. You get a notification only when the selected crew is on the start list or in the results, is a party to the protest or has received the penalty. If you fill in both fields, it is enough that the event concerns the selected crew or a sailor from the selected club. Notices and news concern all participants, so you always receive them.

Tip

A sailor’s parent? Choose your child’s crew and tick New race results and New protest application – your phone only buzzes when the results or a protest concern that very crew. A coach can choose their club the same way.

Change or turn off notifications

1. Open the regatta page and click Setup notifications again – the window shows your current settings.

2. Change the selected events or filters. To stop receiving notifications from this regatta, clear all events.

3. Click Subscribe to notifications.

You can also turn off all Upwind24 notifications in your browser or system settings by blocking notifications for www.upwind24.com.

Notifications on several devices

Without signing in, the settings are saved in the browser where you turned them on. When you are signed in, they are saved in your account – to get notifications on another device as well, sign in there, open the notification settings on the regatta page and click Subscribe to notifications.

Notifications in the user panel

After signing in, you see a bell icon in the top bar of the user panel. The red badge shows the number of unread notifications – they are marked as read when you open the list. When you have no notifications, the list says There are no notifications.

Among others, the panel shows invitations:

• to a crew – when someone adds you as a crew member or as their coach,
• to manage a regatta – when an organizer adds you as a regatta manager.

You can accept or decline an invitation with the Accept and Decline buttons directly in the notification list. These invitations are also sent by e-mail.

The badge on the bell shows the number of unread notifications.

Questions and answers

I can’t see the Setup notifications button on the regatta page. Why?

The button is only shown in browsers that support push notifications. On an iPhone or iPad, first add Upwind24 to your Home Screen (in Safari: Share → Add to Home Screen) and open the regatta page from the icon on the screen – then the button appears.

After clicking Subscribe to notifications, I see “Your device does not allow notifications”. What should I do?

Click the icon next to the page address, allow notifications for www.upwind24.com and check in your system settings that the browser is allowed to show notifications.
