will find an attached file with this email that you will be
using to upload the events. If you do not understand how
to use the program then follow the instructions below. Please be advised
that the all entries must be submitted to mcsmith@access.k12.wv.us by March
25th at 9:00 P.M.. Once I have received your
entries I will be sending you an email back containing your entry list.
If you have any changes that need to be made please submit them back to me by
10:00 P.M. on March 26th. Please be advised, I will only be allowing
scratches to be made on the day of the meet. Thank
You, Mike

click on Add from the Team Browser or click on the Add New Team icon. Enter

For meets this year we are encouraging everyone to use the following format: The
use of the TEAM CODE matching your WVSSAC School ID number will assist the
Regional Directors and other Invitational Directors (ex
Gazette Relays) to have consistent information for all schools.
A list of these codes can be found by clicking on the following link http://www.bridgeporttrack.com/formcontrol/Schoolcodes.htm. Please
also declare your Team Type - "SCHOOL".

the Cancel button when you are finished. Click
on Meets from the Main Menu Bar and then Click on Entries from the Main Menu
Bar and choose Entry By Event. Next enter the Team for which these

athletes for that event. You can enter an event number, use the event

press F4 for Previous event or F5 for the Next event. For
example, pick a Men's 800 meter Run, and TFWin-TM

will automatically move them for you.

the T & F TEAM MANAGER Main Menu Bar, click on File then Export then Meet
Entries. *When
you e-mail them, specify a directory on your hard drive (
one you can find later ) as the Export Drive/Directory. Now
select the meet for which you want to export entries. You should check
the option to Include Relays with your Entry. When
you click OK, TFWin-TM will create one zip file has
the following naming convention: TTTTTTT-Entriesxxx.ZIP where "TTTTTTT" is the Team Abbreviation and
"xxx" is a sequential number beginning with "001".
For example, if the Meet Entries are for the Team "BPT", the
exported meet entry file name would be BPT-Entries001.ZIP This
zipped file contains a meet entry file - a TCL file. After
you have built your meet entry export file, click on Reports and then
Export/Import File Report and follow the menu prompts to review EXACTLY what
information you exported to the file. This is a great way to check and
verify the meet entries you are sending to the meet host. This report
should match the standard Meet Entry Report that you have built, but it's a
good idea to check it. Step
7. Submitting Your Meet Entries Choose
one of the following methods to get your entries to the meet director of the
meet you are entering. E-mail
Entries If
you would like to e-mail these entries to the meet host, just use your
standard e-mail software and attach the ZIP file (saved on your hard drive
where you could find it from before) to an email and send it before the entry
deadline. |
