MEET MANAGER Maintenance Updates Released in 2003

December 9, 2003 - 1.4Ne
·When creating the High Point Individual Scores in the Reports / Scores Menu, you can now limit Individual High Point to the Best Scores in a set number of events. For example, it each swimmer can be in 9 events, you could limit the high point to the highest scoring 6 events. (9 December 2003)  
·In Reports / Scores, most of the settings for the report are now retained even if you exit MEET MANAGER. (9 December 2003)  
·There is a correction to the 3 column results report when listing 8 relay swimmers. (9 December 2003)  

November 9, 2003 - 1.4Nd
·Export of entries to eDive and the Import of Results from eDive are fully implemented. (9 November 2003)  
·When seeding events with NT's for entries, the seeding of the NT's is now sorted low age to high age (still random within each age) if the event is Multi-Age Group. This prevents having a 12 year old in the first heat with 7 year olds and a 7 year old in the 3rd heat with 12 year olds. (9 November 2003)  
·For Canadian Masters, event names for records now display 19&U instead of 0-19. (9 November 2003)  
·On two column results, the space for date of a record has been enlarged. With some printers, the last digit of say 09/16/2003 was truncated to 09/16/200. (9 November 2003)  

October 29, 2003 - 1.4Nc
·The sort order for Award Labels for Divisions by Time Standards meets has been returned to the previous sort order of by division first and then by place. (29 October 2003)  
·When running Pentathlon meets, swimmers who are designated with an athlete status of Exhibition are now listed last. (29 October 2003)  
·Dual meet scores were incorrect from Reports / Scores in the case where heats were swum slow to fast and Score Fastest Heat Only was selected. This has been corrected, however, the scores from the Run Menu were correct. (29 October 2003)  
·For mixed gender events, if scoring was set to not score points for those who do not meet the event qualifying time, those not making the qualifying time still got points and this has been corrected. (29 October 2003)  
·There is a correction to dual meet scores displayed to the OmniSport 2000 scoreboard where the team abbreviation and the team name were switched. (29 October 2003)  
·Diving events in dual meets did not pick the best diver from each team for scoring when there was a limit on how many from each team can score. (29 October 2003)

October 13, 2003 - 1.4Nb
·The Export of Events to TM has a new choice as to whether to include the qualifying times for all three courses or just the meet course. (13 October 2003)  
·There is a new feature in the Run Menu to Combine Results of the first round of two events which are the same distance and gender. This could be used in meets where the best 6 heats are swum in say event 1 in the morning and the remaining 7 heats in the afternoon in event 101. The results of event 101 could then be combined into event 1 where the heats from event 101 are changed to heats 7-13 in event 1. When the events are combined in this example, event 1 is re-ranked and if a timed final, re-scored. If the event is a Prelim round, then the combined event could be seeded for finals. (13 October 2003)  
·When importing a USA Swimming .re1 registration file, you have a new choice that allows you to update birth dates and USA ID's. (13 October 2003)

·When using the IST scoreboard interface, team scores can now be displayed. (13 October 2003)  
·When using the Daktronics OmniSport 2000 with a scoreboard, the team score title for dual meets will indicate the division, if any, and the event scored through. (13 October 2003)  
 
September 18, 2003 - 1.4Na

·There is a correction to the USS ID computation if the middle initial is blank. (17 Sept 2003)

·In the Exception Report, if there is no data for the Referee Name and Phones, an error occurs when closing the Exceptions Report Menu and this is corrected. (18 Sept 2003)  

September 14, 2003 - 1.4N

·For the Meet Program, you can now set up a session to alternate heats between two timed final events of the same stroke, such as alternating women/men in the 1500 meter free or women/men in the women's 800 free and men's 1500 free. This has been one of the most requested features by customers. The heat start times are not shown for events which use this alternating heat feature. However, the records, time standards, and qualifying times for both events are shown in the one combined event header. (31 August 2003)  
·For meets setup with the USA Swimming ID format, when swimmers are added, the ID will be built automatically and you are given the option to confirm that the ID is correct.

·The meet event export (.hyv file) has been revised to include the meet entry qualification times for all three courses for any given event. Prior to this, only the meet entry qualification times for the primary course were included. In addition, if MEET MANAGER is setup as Divisions by Event, the Division Code and Division Name are included with each event (such as JV / Varsity or Gold / Novice). And finally, the name of the .hyv file includes the meet database name for easier recognition. (31 August 2003)  
·The creation of the NCAA POP forms now has the option to include the referee name and phone numbers and the coach name and phone numbers pre-printed on the forms so that all that is required are the signatures. (31 August 2003)  
·The Seed Non-Conforming Times Last feature has been split to allow you to seed non-conforming last for prelim/final events, but leave timed final events with normal seeding. You could also do the opposite and seed non-conforming last for timed final events, but leave prelim/final events with normal seeding. (31 August 2003)  
·Re-numbering of event numbers has been improved with a great deal of flexibility so that you can re-number any set of events into any unused range of numbers. (14 September 2003).

·A new Medal Count report has been added which lists how many Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals each team won. (11 Aug 2003)  
·If an event has Assign Lanes set to "Unseeded" (which means one long flight), before it would only seed this way if the event was a timed final and now it will seed correctly for prelims of a prelim/final event. (11 Aug 2003)

July 13, 2003 - 1.4M

July 2, 2003 - 1.4Lg
·A new Save As command has been added which very quickly allows you to make a copy of the currently open database and save it under a new database name. This replaces the old method of making a backup and restoring that backup with a new name. (2 July 2003)

May 21, 2003 - 1.4Le
·In the Run Menu, the column for entering results is now shaded beige to make it easier to see this column.  
·In the Run Menu, some revisions have been made to the Backup Time Adjustments. When the backup time is less than the pad time by .3 or more, it is still indicated in yellow, but also has a "y" shown to the right. When the backup time is more than the pad time by .3 or more, it is still indicated in blue, but also has a "b" shown to the right. In addition, since a blue indicator means the backup is slower than the pad time, when the backup time calculator is activated, the blue rows are not selected since in most cases this time should not be adjusted to the slower time.  
·There is a new choice of Canadian Masters for Meet Class that uses the low age of 20-24 instead of 19-24 and the low relay age of 80-99 instead of 76-99.
