Note (for Virtual Meets run on Different Courses):
- Meet Manager isn't designed to automatically convert times (like meter results to yards). Primarily because there are many different factors used by different organizations, and conversions have a built-in inaccuracy. It will always export the actual result times
- Users may use the Reports> Results Conversion to display what the converted results would be then manually copy them over to the master database
