Using Aliases

I am contacting you on behalf of PYRA (Poole Yacht Racing Association) http://www.pyra.org.uk/pagehome.html in Poole Dorset UK. Parkstone Yacht Club have run a regatta in which Class I was scored using IRC ratings. PYRA race under VPRS, (Velocity Prediction Rating System http://vprs.org/index.html ).
I am now retrospectively now trying to produce results for class I using aliases and amended TCF's representing VPPR rating. See Sailwave file "2013 Parkstone Regatta MF01.blw"
I have created aliases for all class 1 boats and moved them into a new class "Class I VPRS" and then scored the series.
The following error was reported
Scoring Problem
Sailwave has found a scoring problem. You need to resolve it and then score the series again. The main view will display finishes (not points) in the result cells when you close this window.
Race R1
competitor Class1 VPRS GBR 60R GB - Jackie and Robert Dobson – Jeronimo
result 12.01.03
Class1 – Class1 VPRS GBR 60R GB - Jackie and Robert Dobson – Jeronimo is not in a start for race 1.
I pressed okay, this repeated for all races for Jeronimo, but not subsequent boats. I then published the results and they displayed correctly.

Is there any way of avoiding the error message?
Is the problem caused by carrying out the operation retrospectively?

Hi Mike,
I just have to pop out and I’ll have a look at your file when I get back if no one has answered it by then. It should not be a problem with doing it retrospectively. What version of Sailwave are you using?

Hi Mike,

I think I may have solved your issue. The message window gives the

clue there is a start missing in each race.

I created a start in each race for the alias class "Class 1 VPRS "

with the same start time as “Class 1”, there is a quick way of doing
it using the copy starts facility.

On rescoring the message has gone.

Hope that helps.
Kind regards,
Huw
