When you create a meet, you now choose who is invited: Manual, Entire Roster or Invite by Rules. Each meet also has a type: Entries On, Informational Only or Hidden.
Why it matters
- Entire Roster and Invite by Rules keep the list up to date as your roster changes. A swimmer who joins later is invited on their own, as long as they match your rules.
- Rules cover age, gender, USA Swimming registration, billing status, training and registration groups, and qualifying time. Ages are measured on the meet’s age-up date.
- Informational Only shares a meet with invited families without taking entries, and you can still ask for a headcount. Hidden keeps a meet staff only, out of family meet lists, the calendar, the website and the app.
Good to know
- Automation never removes a swimmer who has committed or been entered. It flags them instead, so you decide.
- Automation stops when registration closes, so late joiners never land on a closed meet.
- Change the mode or rules later on the meet’s Invites tab, on the web or in the Commit app.
