When setting up your meet, you must select a meet type (Set-up > Meet Set-up). Selecting the proper meet type is important for your meet to run as desired. Below are explanations of each of the different meet types.
Comparisons:
- Standard
- When to use: Meet that does not require multi-level division scoring
- Note: Most meets will use Standard
- Division by Event
- When to use: Athletes in each division compete in separate events
- Example: JV and Varsity at same meet
- Event Setup
- Event 1: JV 100 free
- Event 2: Varsity 100 free
- Scoring: Each event will have its own results/scores
- Event Setup
- Division by Team
- When to use: Several teams from different divisions competing in same event
- Example: Multiple A, AA, and AAA high schools at same meet
- Event Setup
- Event 1: 100 free (A, AA, and AAA athletes all entered)
- Scoring: Each event will have three sets of results/scores (one for each division, i.e. 1st place for A, 1st place for AA, 1st place for AAA)
- Event Setup
- Note: Division by Team is rarely used. Do not select Division by Team unless you understand why you are selecting it
- Division by Entry
- When to use: Numerous divisions/classifications with multiple first places in each event
- Example: Disability meet
- Event Setup
- Event 1: 100 free (entries of all classifications entered)
- Scoring: Each event will have multiple sets of results/scores (one for each division)
- Event Setup
- Note: Each individual entry must be assigned a division
- Flighted (Swimming only)
- When to use: Entries are evenly divided in up to 4 groups (AKA "flights") based on athlete ranking
- Note: Flights can be determined by rankings based on seed or result time
- Example: Flight A has fastest 15 athletes, Flight B has middle 15 athletes, Flight C has slowest 15 athletes
- Event Setup
- Event 1: 100 free (Flight A, B, and C athletes all entered)
- Scoring: Each event will have 2-4 sets of results/scores (one for each flight)
- Event Setup
- Time Standard (Swimming only)
- When to use: Entries are split into groups based on which time standard they fit into
- Note: Groups can be determined by seed or result time
- Example: A Standard are athletes faster than 05:00 time, B Standard are athletes between 05:01 and 10:00 times, C Standard are athletes slower than 10:01 time
- Event Setup
- Event 1: 100 free (A, B, and C Standard athletes all entered)
- Scoring: Each event will have multiple sets of results/scores (one for each time standard)
- Event Setup
Comparisons:
- Division by Event vs. Division by Team
- Competing Together or Apart (scored separately either way)
- By Event: each division has its own events
- By Team: divisions compete together in same event
- What Division is Assigned to
- By Event: each event is assigned a division
- By Team: each team is assigned a division
- Competing Together or Apart (scored separately either way)
- Flighted vs. Time Standard
- Group Size
- Flighted: evenly divided groups (e.g. 15 in Flight A, 15 in Flight B, 15 in Flight C)
- Time Standard: groups not necessarily even (e.g. 9 athletes qualify for A Standard, 13 qualify for B Standard, 10 qualify for C Standard)
- Dividing Factor
- Flighted: athlete's place/rank (e.g. 1st-14th places)
- Time Standard: athlete's time (e.g. 05:00-10:00 times)
- Group Size
