were stored and you try to recall them for editing) the Abort, Retry,
Ignore box popped up and, if you selected Ignore, the dances in a multi-

for printing scoresheets, results for MC, etc. The object was to make
the logic more stable when certain classes of error occur, namely
errors such that the data in the recalled placement records don't
exactly match the data in the program. For example:
(1) a entry deleted from a heat after placements are made

In some cases these errors would crash the program when attempting to
print blocks of scoresheets or results for the MC.
