I have been using sw for a couple of months now and its been a challenge but all round a great program with minimal issues. However lately i have had a slight problem. The program is not scoring correctly, i am able to enter the finish times however as soon as i open score series, something goes wrong. It wont recored the corrected time, the elapsed finish time etc is recorded but its obviously not scoring. I'm really confused as I am still very new at this, and all of a sudden its decided to go downhill. the strangest this is i have opened series that have worked in the past and the same thing has happened as soon as i try utilize them again, whether its importing new competitors or starting a new race. Which makes it even more strange. I have also tried creating a file from scratch which spat out the exact same issue. Therefore i am completely stumped.
Would anyone know why this is the case? It might be due to my complete ignorance however there is know one i know that is able to point out where i am going wrong. Any help would be really appreciated!

Michela,
Have you selected (under Setup / Scoring System / Rating System) the correct rating system - e.g. RYA Portsmouth?
The default rating system is `None’ - a common error when doing handicap scoring is to omit the procedure to specify which rating system to apply.

Go to the Scoring System and check that you selected Portsmouth under the rating system tab.
