Name - This is the Primary name for the stage
Sub Name - This is the Group Name/description and is only required if you have multiple groups within the same stage e.g. Gold, Silver, Bronze
Order - The order in the event that this Stage happens
Group - Where you have multiple groups in the same stage they should all have different Group numbers, e.g. Gold is Stage 2 Group 1, Silver is Stage 2 Group 2 and so on
Scoring Format - This controls if the automated Scoring and Tiebreaks should be applied. Unknown Scoring will allow you to apply your own rules and ranks.
The system will currently automatically score and tiebreak for Appendix A Low and High Point (no discards), Appendix C Match Racing, Appendix D Team Racing, HLS Team Racing, Win-Points Team Racing and Swiss League. The methods used and tiebreak rules for Sailing Instructions can be obtained by contacting the kSail team.

Flights for stage - These are the groups of boats that will be used at the event. To add your flights please contact the kSail team.
Last Race - When this value is set the screens which display the schedules, e.g. All Races, will not show race number after this value.
Background colour - Stage Sub Name (Group Name) is displayed on the schedules within a coloured pill, this sets the colour for the pill such that each Group for a Stage can have its own colour.
