Importing from SGE MAR

The import has three steps, in this order: pick the championship, check the plan and build the preview — only after the preview does the import button unlock. It needs internet.

1. In the app’s meet list, click Import from SGE MAR. The Import from SGE MAR 3.0 window reads the MAR database on this computer.
2. Choose the Season. Each championship shows how many stages it has and how many have entries. Click the championship.
3. Choose the Organization that owns the meets.
4. Check each proposed meet: tick Import this meet, adjust the Meet name and choose the Circuit (or No circuit).
5. Check the events (Individual or Relay · N legs) and fill in the Distance (m) of those showing Distance pending — without it the preview does not run.
6. Click Preview and read the Preview (nothing was saved) report.
7. Click Import and wait for Import finished.
8. Download the meet as usual (Downloading and reserving the meet).

Changing the plan after the preview discards the preview: what gets imported is always what you saw. Championships goes back to the list.

The report

• Athletes: total, already registered, to create and with duplicate records. The athlete number in MAR is the CBDA license.
• N para athletes without birth year in MAR — para athletes that MAR stores without a real birth year.
• Status of each meet: New, Update, Blocked or Error, with the reason.
• Per event: New, Updated, Unchanged, Skipped and No category.
• Warnings.

Re-importing

Importing the same championship again updates the meets already created. Entries that disappeared from MAR are kept here (the report counts them).

Caution

A meet downloaded to a desk shows as Blocked: upload and release the meet at the desk before re-importing — the desk upload would overwrite the cloud.

The imported meet starts with free-text teams. Check the general data, age groups and public site options in the admin before the event.
