Merging Series with Aliased Competitors

We have 3 series (Spring, Summer, Fall) for PHRF and Centerboard yachts that are scored Low Points. In addition, each of the series .blw files have aliased competitors to create a new Overall fleet from the 2 separate fleets (e.g., for
PHRF, spinnaker and non-spinnaker, and for Centerboard, laser and non-laser). At the end of the season, we combine all of the results from the 3 series into a single High Points for PHRF and Centerboard. The scoring is setup and works fine, but the merging
seems to have issues. It seems that I need to delete the aliased competitors from each of the low points .blw files prior to merging or some of the competitors are not merged correctly. I currently do this manually via the Edit -> Delete competitors menu
and then hand select all of the aliased competitors and then create a low points .blw for merging.

My question is: Is there a way to delete an entire fleet without having to select each competitor in the fleet?

Thanks,

Hi Tom - A quick way to delete blocks of competitors is to use the Tools - Set competitor field to set the Competitors to Excluded (set Exclude to 1) and then use the delete competitors - All excluded Jon
