Display Start Lists

  1. Create a subdirectory in the event directory called "startlists".
  2. In Hytek: Run->Web->Log-in then upload all the Meet Program files for each event to the "startlists" sub-directory (i.e., click on "Create heat sheets or Performance Lists for Rounds Not Done").
  3. When the event is opened the index will contain a list of all events with both start lists and results links showing.
