Events

Open the meet and click Events. The event list is on the left; the editor for the selected event is on the right (labels in Portuguese).

  1. Click + at the top of the list. The editor opens as Nova Prova (new event).
  2. Fill in Número (number) and Distância (m) (distance) — both are required.
  3. Choose Gênero (gender: Todos = all, male, female or mixed).
  4. Under Largada (start), choose Por categoria (by age group) or Por série (by heat) — see below.
  5. Under Tempo limite (OTL), choose Sem tempo limite (none), Após o 1º colocado (after the winner) or Tempo total de prova (total race time).
  6. Fill in Data e hora (date and time), Check-in fecha (min) (check-in closes, in minutes), Taxa de Inscrição (entry fee), Limite de vagas (places) and, optionally, Nome da Prova (event name).
  7. Click Criar (create).

Once created, the event saves itself: when you leave a changed field the button turns from Salvar Alterações into Salvo (saved).

The start type tells the desk which wave an athlete started in, so their time can be calculated:

  • Por categoria: each start (wave) gets one or more age groups; the athlete starts in the wave that contains their age group.
  • Por série: the athlete starts in the wave whose Ordem (order) equals the heat (start) number of the entry.

The waves themselves are set up in the Largadas section of the same editor (Starts (waves)).

The event field only says how the limit is counted. The minutes belong to each start, because each wave goes off at its own time. Anyone finishing after the limit is recorded as OTL (out of time limit).

  • Status da Prova: Programada (scheduled), Em andamento (running) or Oficializada (official). Usually the desk changes it.
  • Taxa de Inscrição: the value set for this event replaces the meet’s individual fee.
  • Pontuação › Tabela de pontos: the table that applies to every age group of the event (empty = Usar tabela padrão da competição, the meet default).

Tick Revezamento (relay) and enter Pernas (legs). The distance becomes Distância total (m), the sum of all legs. Tick Atleta pode nadar mais de uma perna (alternadas) for formats such as the mixed 2×2×750 m (set 4 legs, 3000 m). Limite p/ Componentes de Revezamento sets until when coaches can name the relay swimmers in the portal.

Right-click an event for Adicionar Classe (add age group), Adicionar Classe em Branco (blank age group), Copiar Classes, Colar Classes (copy/paste age groups) and Excluir Prova (delete). At the top of the list there are buttons to reorder age groups by age, expand/collapse all and Excluir todas as provas (delete all events; existing entries prevent it).
