Create a meet and open sign-ups

1. Open Meets → Entries and click New Meet.

2. Events file: upload the .ev3 or .zip from the meet host and Commit builds the event list for you. No file? Click next and add events later.

3. Meet information: name, dates, location, course.

4. Invited swimmers: pick who’s invited. Only invited families see the meet.

5. Review and create.

6. Then open the meet’s Information & Settings and set up registration with the pencil icons on each card:

   • Registration Settings: Permissions decides who picks events: “Parents & coaches” lets families enter their own swimmers, “Coaches only” means families still commit or decline but you do the entries. Set the Dates registration is open, the Commitment type (by session or by entire meet; by-session shows families a checkbox per session), and whether Commitment notes are allowed. Each session also has a Parents checkbox; uncheck it and that session becomes coach-managed, visible to families but only committable by you.
   • Entry Rules: the Entry Method (“Convert to event course”, “Use only event course”, or “Use any course”), the age up date (all age math uses it), the eligible times date (older times stop counting as best times for this meet), an optional qualifying time override that swaps the file’s cutoffs for a time standard level, and entry caps per session and per meet. You can also limit which meets’ times count using meet tags, and control whether parents may pick among times or convert them.
   • Meet Information: your notes for families plus Meet Documents, up to five PDFs (the meet announcement, the timeline) that families see on their meet page.
   • Billing Settings: your meet fees. See meet billing.

   

Families now get their meet invitation (per alert settings) and can commit and pick events until registration closes. Watch it all come in under the meet’s Entries section.
