Ties and swim-offs

When there is a tie at the cut line, the tool shows Tie — decide by swim-off, draw or manually, with three choices:

• Create swim-off: Creates a tie-break event at the end of the prelim session. Once its heat is official, the winner advances.
• Draw lots: Draws the order of the tied swimmers.
• Decide manually: You order the tied swimmers (the one on top advances) and click Apply order.

For a tie the banner does not show, use Ad-hoc tie-break: it lists only swimmers with identical times in the same class of the next round.
