Meet Manager Integration Steps

Race HQ – Meet Manager Interface

Requirements:

• Meet Manager with Photo Finish Interface
• A network with a shared folder (map directory) or internet access on each computer and a shared Drop Box Folder
• Note: The Meet Manager event files are named according to Meet Manager event naming conventions. ie.  Original event numbers are used not the alternate event numbers and finals are named according to the heat number.

The first 3 numbers reflect the event number in the event list and the second 3 numbers reflect the heat number or that it is a final.

For Example: If the event is #1 in the event list and the event is heat 2 of 3, regardless of the alternate event no, the event will be saved as 001-102. The final of this heat will be saved as 001-201.
