- Due to a bug in Meet Manager, the A meet template files have been updated on 2026-06-18 in order to fix the records. No other changes were made. The new file is available to download on the right side of this page. To make sure you have the correct file, open a meet and look at the records. The correct records will have event #13 by Selim Ericson from 2025.
- We do not recommend automating MCSL meets with Meet Maestro. Meet Maestro produces results in .HY3 format, which cannot be uploaded to mcsl.org. If you do you use Meet Maestro, you're on your own in converting it to the .CL2 format needed to upload to mcsl.org.
- MCSL does not have an official list of DQ codes to use with Meet Manager. No DQ codes are uploaded to the web site: we only care that there has been a DQ, so no codes are strictly needed. If you want to use DQ codes for your team's purposes, you can use "USA-S DQ Codes 2024 v2". This is set in Meet Manager under Set-up, Meet Set-up.
- We have a series of YouTube videos available that show how to use Meet Manager for setting up A meets. It is suggested that you watch these videos before you attend Automation training, or as a refresher. You're probably better off watching these videos than the recording of the automation training.
- Make sure that the 2 or 3 letter team abbreviation that you set in Team Manager, Team Unify, or Swimtopia matches your team's MCSL abbreviation, or your meet results will not upload to this site. Team abbreviations are available here. Also make sure your LSC is set to "PV".
- If you have year-round club swimmers, they should use their USA Swimming ID in your team management software. Do not change the swimmer ID or swimmer information (including middle initial and birthday) after the season has started.
- The recording of the 2024 automation training is available here. It's 90 minutes long.
- MCSL uses Meet Manager 8.0. If you need the software, contact web@mcsl.org. The current version is 8.0Gf.
