Add Events to Meet Manager

Creating your meet's events is reasonably time consuming part of the meet setup as it has a lot of different options.

Tips

Use only whole numbers for Event Numbers. Using a suffix like Event 1a, 1b, 1c, etc can cause issues.
The Add New Event window will create a new event each time you press Ok, but it won't appear in the list behind the window until you close the window.
Once you have completed adding all your events, click Cancel to exit the window and view the list of events.
If you need to edit an event, select it from the list of events and Click Edit in the menu bar. When you click Ok after editing an event the window will close automatically. Clicking Cancel will not save your edits in this case.
For Postal events, Event Type must be set to Time Trial Event.

Select the Events option from menu bar.
Select Add from the menu bar.
For each event repeat Step 4 to Step 16
Check the Event Number.
Select Individual or Relay as appropriate for your Program of Events.
For Individual events, set Gender to Mixed. For Relay events, you may choose Women, Men or Mixed as appropriate for the event.
In Age Group, check that Open/Senior is selected.
Set Distance as per the Programs of Events.
Set Stroke as per the Programs of Events.
Set Rounds to Timed Finals.
Under Round 1 - Prelims or Timed Finals, set the number of lanes being used in Number of Lanes. Different events can use a different number of lanes.
Assign Lanes should be set to Standard for normal meet events. If the event is a postal, select Unseeded.
Heat Order should be set Slow to Fast.
For normal events on the day and postals, Score Event should be checked.
Event Type should be set to Standard for normal events on the day. Postal events and other exhibition type events should be set to Time Trial Event. This prevents Records from being awarded for those events.
Click Ok to save the event and reset the window for the next event. Settings from the previous event will carry forward to the next.
After all events have been created, click Cancel to close the window. However you may wish to Add Sessions to Meet Manager first.
