Fill seeds from best times, then export the file the host asked for.
Individuals, relays, going or scratch. The file you send is that lineup, for a club invitational or a high school dual.
Product overviewFrom the event file
Import EV3, HYV, XLS, or a ZIP. Sessions, events, qualifying times, and JV or Varsity divisions come with the file. Dive events in a combined meet stay off the swim entry board.
Building entries
Mark who is attending, including relay-only swimmers. Seed times fill from best times, and you can override them. Relays take four legs, plus alternates when the meet asks for them. On Pro, lineup suggestions fill open individual spots from eligible best times, within the meet's entry limits. Relays stay as you staffed them. Relay-order suggestions are on every plan, inside the monthly draft pool shared with practice drafts.
Before export, validation flags entry limits from the file — individual, relay, and combined — and qualifying-time misses. On a high school team it also checks association scoring caps: max scoring names in an individual event, and max relay teams. A scratch keeps the row.
The file they asked for, and paper
Export HY3 or CL2 for Meet Manager, or SDIF for hosts that asked for it, including TeamUnify and SwimTopia. Print the individual entries report and a split sheet. The default print omits relay alternates; you can include them. Split cadence is print-only and is not saved.
Results, previous best, and the cut
Import the results file after the meet. Each row shows the new time next to previous best.
Turn on a time standard you created or imported. That can be JO, sectionals, or a high school cut. Under, at, or over sits on the row. Lane4 HQ does not include a built-in standards book. Faster swims update best times. Unmatched names stay on a review list.
