When manually checking in a duplicate license plate, a warning is presented to the judge with the judge name who last checked in that license plate. But it still possible to check in duplicates. Due to this unique situation, this can happen in one of three ways. 1. The 'Participant' was manually checked in twice. 2. The 'Participant' is a system Trophy Cloud user who joined and was checked in and then a judge manually checked them in again. 3. The 'Participant' was manually checked in, then became a registered Trophy Cloud user and joined your event and was checked in again. Note: To minimize this situation, it's best to verify that a user was checked in if you’re not sure. From the Manual Check in screen you can search for the user by;
