A problem moving from Qualification races to Finals

Imported from Yahoo
1

Hi: I've been working on the Laser problem - Two fleets of Apprentice and Grand master, no reflighting. Two fleets of Masters, Yellow and Red reflighted daily. By merely grouping them into Flights I can score the Qs. After each race the Masters are reflighted by hand. Works OK. But to move to the Finals I want to reflight the Masters into Gold and Silver. Seems easy, just use Tools, Flight Assignments, Select Competitors. Set Flight=Yellow, and Flight=Red. Then set Assign these Flights to Gold and Silver. Use Equal Groups App LE. Seems OK to me. Hit OK and every Flight - Apprentice, Grand Master, Both Masters are grouped into Gold and Silver. It ignores the Select Competitors and looks like a flaw.
I can allocate by hand but that is tedious.
In Edit Race it is set to All Competitors and populated to all races.
Is it a flaw or is it me?
Thanks, Donald

Yes,

Donald, as John says, when you use the Flight rotation tool, you need
to specify who to apply the rotation to and in your case that’s
fleet=mas if you’re using the file I sent you - or whatever you called
the masters fleet.
