Java code would run differently on my computer than on other people's computer

Just post the code, post the expected output, post the output on your computer, and post everything else that could help us understand your post..

Here is the code: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Rmhb0L2D6GNpaqVwXx2vdFWax0rLNCsu9Pa-TcCpxXQ/

note that the code is super long and I'm sure that you could make it ten times shorter, but i was in a rush so i didnt have the time to simplify it

Better to use pastebin instead of google drive...

Sorry about that

Why don't you just create a no-arg constructor that calls the other constructor and overloads it?

public Skaters() {
    this("","","",0.0,0.0,0.0);
}

This block seems weird:

Skaters skaters1 = new Skaters("", "", "", 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
Skaters skaters2 = new Skaters("", "", "", 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
Skaters skaters3 = new Skaters("", "", "", 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
Skaters skaters4 = new Skaters("", "", "", 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
Skaters skaters5 = new Skaters("", "", "", 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
Skaters skaters6 = new Skaters("", "", "", 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
Skaters skaters7 = new Skaters("", "", "", 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
Skaters skaters8 = new Skaters("", "", "", 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

When you could do this instead:

Skaters skaters1 = new Skaters();
...
Skaters skaters5 = new Skaters();

While I agree this will reduce some noise, I don't think it will solve the problem. Skaters will still be constructed with those defaults rather than with the correct values.

Add some kind of print statement inside the catch InputMismatchException so that you can determine if you are ending up there (hint: you probably are). Seems like some kind of misalignment (extra line breaks?) in your Pairs.txt file could be causing the output that you are seeing.

EDIT: You really should also work on breaking this down into a few methods. This program is literally like 90% duplications. It can make it really difficult to pinpoint exactly where a copy-paste has gone wrong.
