Last weekend we had a regatta that required the use of Alias’, which I used last year with no issues. When I tried to import the finish file I got an error message “Error Line 2 more than one competitor matched.” I carefully checked all sail numbers and there were no duplicates in the main Class (those without an alias). Since there were only 10 boats I just input the finishes manually.
I am attaching the Sailwave file and the 5 finish files.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Peggy - It worked OK for me
This is how I had the mapping
I guess you didn’t have the last line mapped to Class if I put this to ignore I get the same message that you reported.
Just a small point I would use the column Fleet not Class as the Class is normally the Class of boat. It is not essential as you have it but in some more advanced situations it would need to be in the Fleet column so if you got into the practice of using the Fleet field it may help in the future.
I’m also curious why you are using Aliases as both Fleets appear to be the same but that is a different topic - the import does appear to work fine.

Hi Jon,
Oh, that makes sense. I was ignoring the class field.
I will bear in mind your comment about Fleet vs. Class.
Yes, it seems silly now, but when we first set up the regatta we didn’t know that all of the participants were going to sail in the District 5 Championship as well. We decided to leave it that way so all the competitors could see that everyone participated in both.
Thanks so much for your help and prompt reply.
