Creating Meets

There are two ways that the meet director will manage the results. 1. With Hy-Tek Meet Manager or 2. Without Hy-Tek Meet Manager. If you are lucky enough to be going to a meet where they will be using Hy-Tek Meet Manager, then the meet director will provide you with a file that you can import into the Team Manager that will list all of the events and entry rules for their meet.

The process for using Team Manager to enter your team into a meet using Hy-Tek Meet Manager is as follows:

1. Download the meet events file (.zip)

2. Import the file into your database

3. Assign your athletes to their respective events (Don't forget the entry marks!!)

4. Export your entries and send them back to the meet director.

On this page, we will cover how to download the file and import it into your Team Manager database. Check out the links to the left to find out how to complete steps 3 and 4.

Downloading the meet events file

1. The meet events file will be in the form of a .zip file. Most likely, the meet director will post this on a web site or e-mail it to you. So you can practice, I have included a meet entries file. You can download it here.

When you click on the link, it will ask you to download the file. To keep it simple (and so you can find the file after it is downloaded), we will select the desktop to download the file to. You will not need the file after you import it into the database. You can delete it after it is imported into the program.

Download the file here. Then...

Then..

This will place the .zip file on your desktop. It is ready to be imported into the Team Manager database.

Importing the Meet Events File into Team Manager

Team Manager will then tell you that the files have been unzipped and it will open up the folder where the files were unzipped to.

Your file will have imported all of the meet events from the meet director. To see if this worked correctly, click on MEETS, then click on EVENTS. Make sure that the Entry Events button is selected. Your screen should look like the following.

If yours looks like mine, congrats!!! You have successfully imported meet entries, you are now ready to enter your athletes into the events.
