Trying to merge all our various cup races into one series to find our overall club champ.
When I merge, some competitors results disappear when I go to score the series,
When I look at the these results I see that it hasn’t calculated the corrected time, looked everywhere, tried various merge options and different scoring methods, but drawing a blank.
Your help would be appreciated.
PS. love the software by the way.

Hi Colin,
In the file you attached - not many competitors have any time results present
when you score the series you need to set the score series by group and fleet
Corrected times were calculated fine for those that had results. To see corrected times in the results published you need to publish the individual races, not just the summary.
Perhaps you could post two of the source files that you merged to create this so we can advise on the merge.
Or give me a call this evening Wednesday and we can work through it.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your reply.
I’ve tried merging different cup races and always get the same result.
When I merge the second cup race, those competitors that have results in both events (races) work fine.
But for those who have results in the second merged race but not in the first event (race) when I do a ‘score series’ those who only had a result in race 2 only, disappear from the series.
I attach 2 files that present this phenomena.
Unfortunately flying out of the country this pm but could call next week to discuss if no further forward.
Regards
Colin.
Hi Colin
Works fine for me.
I’ve attached a small video (No Sound) of merging the two files you supplied
Hope that helps

And also an online link to it

Hi Colin, Jon,
I suspect it is due to some of the competitors been excluded as I have found this can happen when merging files.
Easy fix Edit Mark all sailed competitors as included.
Happens to me is I open your 1st series and merge the 2nd one. 8 are excluded
If you want to confirm this, just View, Columns and show the Exclude column,
Hope that helps
Cheers

Hi Jon,
Thank you so much that video was brilliant, all works fine now.
So simple when you know how.
Very best regards
Colin.

Hi Keith,
Spot on, I was very close to figuring out for myself, another 3 or 4 days thinking about it and I might of got there!
Jon showed me an approach where he started a new series first, then started to merge the files into that new series which then overcomes this ‘inclusion’ issue as well.
All sorted now, many thanks for your response.
Best Regards
Colin.
