Clearing race specific handicap data - how?

Imported from Yahoo
1

Being lazy, I tend to take last year's series, clear the results, change
the dates and use it for this year. However, I have found that the race
specific handicap data (where we have a personal handicap series where
the handicaps are changed according to performance) is not cleared by
this process - understandable if I'd thought about it! Is there a way
of clearing this race specific handicap data, or should I really start
afresh each year?

Don't know if there's a direct way of doing this, but an indirect option would to export to excel, then import to a new series. Or
just `Import competitors from another Sailwave file' ?

Would deleting the races & re-adding them do it.
Thats probably still a lot quicker than starting from scratch and since
you need to alter the dates on them all anyway probably not a lot
different.

Thanks, John. I think that’s probably the cleanest way. (Just got to remember next year :D)
