Grid view for meet entries, with heats and lanes

Meet entries have a new Grid view. Swimmers run down the side and the session’s events across the top, one age group and gender at a time. Click an empty cell and the swimmer is entered with their best time.

Why it matters

  • You can work through a whole age group in one pass, one click per event.
  • Problems stand out. A red time is outside the event’s cutoffs, a clock marks a swimmer who hasn’t committed, and a struck name has declined.
  • For dual meets, turn on Heats & lanes and seed your own heats. Set the lanes, which lanes your team swims and how many swimmers score. Anyone past the scoring count is entered as exhibition.
  • Those heats and lanes carry into the spectator view and the .hy3 entry file.

Good to know

  • Heats & lanes is off by default. Leave it off and the grid works as a plain entry sheet for normal meets.
  • In the Commit app, swipe to change age group and tap a cell to enter a swimmer. The app re-seeds on its own after each change.
  • Set a lane by hand? Re-seed asks whether to keep hand-set lanes or re-seed everything.
