Boys Swimming: PIAA District One

ON JANUARY 11, DISTRICT ONE WAS NOTIFIED BY THE STATE THAT WE NEED TO USE 9, 10, 11, OR 12 FOR THE SWIMMER’S GRADE IN SCHOOL RATHER THAT FR, SO, JR OR SR. THIS IS A CHANGE FROM THE DIRECTIONS THAT WERE MAILED TO YOU. SEE THE DIRECTIONS AT THE END OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS IF YOUR TEAM MANAGER DATA BASE IS NOT SET UP FOR 9, 10, 11, AND 12. PLEASE MAKE THIS CHANGE. If you have a problem making the change, don’t worry, I’ll just switch them.

There are four different event files for the 2010 District One Swimming Championships—Two for the girls and two for the boys. Please choose the correct file to import, not all four. You do not have to set up a district meet file in team manager before importing. When you import the events file the meet will automatically be set up for you.

To import the events into team manager:

Click on the appropriate events file. You will be given the option to save or open. You want to save the file on your computer or flash drive. When the download is complete, click CLOSE.
Open your team manager data base. Click FILE, IMPORT, Meet events. You need to locate the events file that you saved. Double click on the file and the events will be saved in a temporary file. Double click on that and they will be imported. When the import is completed you will get a message that 12 events were imported.
Click on the “Meets” menu in your team manager data base and you will see the district meet located there. You are now ready to do entries. When you are finished with your entries, go to FILE, EXPORT, meet entries. Make sure you check off to export relays. Save your file. It is helpful if you can rename the file to include your team name. Attach the file to an email to nkswanson29@yahoo.com. Please include your full team name, AA or AAA, boys or girls on the subject line of your email. In the email please include a phone number where you can be reached if there is a problem. Nancy will email coaches confirmation that entries were received. She will also email you a meet manager copy of your entries. Please double check for accuracy.
When you arrive at the mandatory Coaches meeting, you will be given another meet manager copy of your entries. It will be helpful if you bring the emailed copy of your entries to this meeting to double check the one that you are given. You will sign and turn in this new copy of your entries. Once everyone signs off on their entries, the meet will be seeded and you will be given a meet program to take with you.

If your team manager program is set up for FR, SO, JR, SR, follow these steps to change to 9, 10, 11, and 12.

From the Team Manager Home Page, click Set-up and then click on
Groups/Sub Groups/Codes

At the top it says “Show Types”. Click on “School Year”. It will say SO Sophomore etc. Highlight the first one and click on edit or just double click on the one you want to change. You can then change the SO to 10. You get a message that says that it will change them all to this new code. Say OK. Edit all of them to be 9, 10, 11, and 12.

If you are adding a new team to team manager you can do this before you enter your team. If you already have your team entered, doing this will change what you already had entered.

If you have any problems, please do not hesitate emailing Nancy Swanson at nkswanson29@yahoo.com or phoning (215) 723-8864. Please adhere to the deadlines listed in the information packet.
