>>Note: USA Swimming has made EV3 files available, but those files have multiple-day sessions, which are not currently supported by Meet Maestro. For the Speedo Swim Again Series, you'll need to create a "New (Empty) Swim Meet" for each week rather than import an EV3 file.
Apply a Meet Template
For each week's meet, apply the corresponding meet template. Your Meet Maestro account has come pre-loaded with a meet template for each week of the Speedo Swim Again series, including the schedule of events and meet entry rules. Before you apply any meet templates, review the setup to ensure that's how you'd like to run your meets, especially the Entry Rules and the Seeding & Scoring Rules. To review and make edits, go to Schedule > Meet Templates and click on the template name.
Now you're ready to apply your templates to your meets:
Go to Schedule and click on the meet name. Then go to Meet Setup > Events > Template > Apply Template and select the appropriate meet template
Ready to Go!
Now you're ready to create your meet entries and run your meet. Once your meet is complete, you can send your results to USA Swimming.
