I had a similar problem and this was also not bound to aliassing.
Micro Class is normally ranked on elapsed time as scratch and in three divisions.
However some nations, with small fleets, rank also on handicap.
The annual national ranking is published after the second regatta. The elapsed time is scored, and all regattas are configured with name and date.
Then the file is saved, then saved as a new file, results are cleared and handicap ranks are entered. Competitors of the last three years are present, but excluded in both files.
Now comes the third regatta, with a lot of new competitors. I enter the new boats in the first file, then import them in the second file.
The behaviour of Sailwave is strange.
I didn’t display the excluded competors, so some were accidentally duplicated.
When I used the Sail Number wizard, the boat was also displayed twice. I couldn’t see which of the entries was excluded.
And when I tried to clear one, both were proposed to clear.
So I stopped the operation, saved the file, quitted Sailwave, drank a whisky, watched a sailing programme on TV, launched Sailwave again, re-opened the second file, and now it was working properly.
There must be a bug somewhere, but I suggest the following:
- Close the regatta file, then re-open
- if you are unlucky, close and quit Sailwave, launch and re-open
- further, if it doesn’t work, go further, close Windows and re-start…

Tony,
If you care to send me the two files I will take a look. If you could also document the steps you took that would be helpful.
Kind regards,
Huw

Re: [sailwave] Re: Sailwave Confused?
Thanks for the suggestions Mike, that was exactly what I decided to
do, I went back to the saved version before this last race, created
the new competitors from scratch, and then entered the race, and that
seems to work OK.
I think there's something hokey about importing competitors, perhaps
to do with their ID number in the other series conflicting with a
competitor’s ID in this series.
Anyway as far as I'm concerned importing is bad news, and I'll avoid it.
thanks
Tony

Sorry, now out of my depth 
(Personally I’d be deleting the newly imported competitors and doing
clean new entries by now, but I appreciate that this may not be an
option for you.)
