Tips about Hy-tek and Team Manager import/export process.
 Create new file in team manager. Import your meet results with new athletes/swimmers so you can select from them. Import your meet events I just sent. Import Meet Event file, enter your entries in Team Manager, then Export and Send me meet entry files from District. Also need pdf copies.. Look back at your swim hand out the last few pages.  Inserted below also.
 If you have the BC’s electronically you can email them to me. If not can you scan and email? If answer is no them priority mail them to me. Without priority it may take 10 days or so with new mail system. I would love to get them prior to the meet. I DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE THEM Sat Night. They can come on Monday. Sat I need Hy-Tech Files, PDF results, Team entry sheet Summaries if possible.
 
 Hy-Tek Entries for GRPA State Swim Meets
  1. Go Team Manager and Open a new file called GRPA<current year>
  2. Download the entire GRPA district results into the file. Make sure and check, add new swimmers and teams.
  3. Then download meet events for GRPA state meet into the team manager file.
  4. Then do your entries BY EVENT and click on the top three swimmers/relays that will be attending the state meet.
  5. Compare your printed district results with your entries before you send them in.
  6. When you are completed with the GRPA File go back under file on the opening page of Team Manager and click on open/new. Open your team file and you are back where you started.
 

GRPA BC State Swim Mandatory Meeting/Webinar Information:  

Subject: GRPA Swim and Track Webinar/Meeting Information 

Good Afternoon Agency Directors & Swim Personnel,

The Georgia Recreation and Park Association member agencies are required to attend mandatory Swimming and Track Meetings for the current year which their teams plan to compete in District and State. All participating agencies are required to attend one of the three statewide meetings to cover the rules and regulations for the state swimming or track meet. Agencies that do not attend must pay a fine of $200 to the GRPA office. In an effort to assist Agencies that continue to compete from one year to the next, the SAC host Sites and the GRPA Professional Development Committee are launching several online webinars to assist members in meeting this requirement. The first of these meetings has been scheduled. If the participant/s log out early they will not receive credit for attending.
As GRPA advertises the online webinars, they will be targeting Agencies in GRPA who continually participate in Swimming or Track. Webinars will include SEPARATE SESSIONS for both Track and Swimming. Those agencies that register for the GRPA SAC Webinars to meet the mandatory meeting compliance in regards to Track and Swimming for GRPA will be sent the presentations once we have received the GoToMeeting Report and determined who actively participated. IN ORDER TO RECEIVE CREDIT FOR BOTH TRACK & SWIMMING MEETING ATTENDANCE, BOTH WEBINARS AND/OR PHYSICAL MEETINGS FOR EACH SPORT WILL NEED TO BE ATTENDED. It is highly recommended you have your team’s coach(es) attend as well.

The webinars are scheduled to last approximately 1 ½ hours with an additional 30 minutes for questions and answers (Overall time roughly 2 hrs. with Questions). State Host and GRPA SAC staff will be available to answer questions.
