Meet Information and Results Instructions:

To ensure the meet results are processed and posted in a timely manner, follow the steps outlined below - especially the pre-meet athlete registration procedures. If you have questions regarding the pre-meet steps, contact Cassy Shapley @ Minnesota Swimming

Meet Information (3-4 weeks before meet):

Once approved by the MSI Office, send an electronic copy of your meet information to the MSI Webmaster. Keep this file simple (avoid tables, images, etc. which enlarge the file size) because the webmaster converts it to an ADOBE pdf file for easy viewing and printing.

Team Manager Event Set-up File (3-4 weeks before meet)

To ensure the club entries are consistent, set-up your meet in Meet Manager 4 weeks in advance. You will need the Order of Events from MSI. When the meet set-up is complete, create an Event File used by clubs to set-up the meet in their Team Manager software.

Create this file by going to the following location in Meet Manager:

FILE > EXPORT > EVENTS FOR TM

Meet Manager will guide you through several dialogue boxes. After saving the event file, e-mail that file to clubs and the MSI Webmaster to post on the Minnesota Swimming website.

Meet Manager .sd3 file (4-6 days before meet)

To ensure the Meet results are processed smoothly into SWIMS, athlete registration should be verified before the meet.

To obtain:  FILE > EXPORT > USS REGISTRATION

The file name will be sdifxxx.sd3. Do not send roster-only meet file.

Send this info to:
MSI Webmasterwebmaster@mnswim.org
Cassy Shapley cshapley@mnswim.org
Sheryl McGuire smcguire@mnswim.org
Michael Bougie bougieml@msn.com

Time-line (4-6 days before meet):

Send after you have finalized the meet. This info is important for clubs competing in the afternoon sessions.   Before creating this report, you will want to confirm the session name, seconds between heats, etc. that is found under (EVENTS > SESSIONS)

To generate the Time Line, in Meet Manager go to:

REPORTS > SESSIONS

In the dialogue box, Click Select All, Include Event Start Times, Include event and heat counts, Include * type entriess, Flat HTML
(click here to see image of the dialogue box)
