Previously Sanctioned Meets

For club invitationals and/or time trials that have already been approved for a meet sanction prior to January 16th.

Swim BC has a copy of the approved meet packages, but Meet Managers will need to submit only their Meet Entry File through the following form: https://www.cognitoforms.com/SwimBC2/PreviouslySanctionedMeets

Swimming Canada is working on developing a Meet page on their website where coaches and admin staff can find Sanctioned Meets along with their corresponding Meet Packages and Entry Files.
Corrections and Updates to Sanctioned Meet Information

Once a meet has been sanctioned and a club needs to update/correct a met package and/or meet entry file, please email Carrie Matheson (carrie.matheson@swimbc.ca) with the updates.

Meet Entries

1. Clubs can email files directly to meet manager and/or meet entries contact
2. Create a Meet Entries Submission Form (recommended)

Cognito Forms is a free forms building site (example)

• allows you to build a form with uploading capabilities
• can create a choice field option if the meet is closed (only have clubs that are invited to closed meet showing in the dropdown menu)
• track all entries in one spreadsheet
• have all contact information for all clubs attending in one spreadsheet (easier for communication needs leading up to the meet)

If a club would like help with creating a Meet Entry form in Cognito, please contact Swim BC (carrie.matheson@swimbc.ca) for assistance. Example of what the form could look like:

Meet Results

Results will be posted to the SwimRankings website within 2-3 days.

Post Meet Invoice will be created by Swim BC and sent to the Meet contact person as quickly as possible.
Meet Managers will need to email the results file directly to all attending Club contacts as well.
Once RTR is operational – if there are any errors in the results files, Swim BC will work with the host clubs to resolve those issues with the results.
