Actually, this one was my fault, I think. The first-round pairings come from the car numbers as entered in the timing system by the computer operator and it appears that a bad car number was entered for Etter's opponent in round one. The Etter and Smith pair appears to have been correctly entered before they went down the track since Smith got the win flag.
Usually when the computer operator keys in the wrong car number, they make a correction before the cars run and the error never shows up in the report. This situation should have triggered an error message because "J Mason" (car # 7743) wasn't even on the qualifying list. It didn't, and I don't know why.
When I first read your comment, I though it meant that the reporter's comments indentified a different winner than the performance numbers and win flag showed. Then I looked and realized that it was a ladder-formatted round, my bad! As I said, it should have triggered an error, so maybe you have found the only bug in my otherwise perfect software? (Yeah, sure!)
Like I've said before, don't be shy about letting us know about any errors you spot - just don't turn it into an inquisition. I'll be looking at this one to see if I can figger how it happened.
