ENTRIES DUE: 28th February.
To complete swimming entries: (PLEASE CHECK QUALIFYING TIMES AND ENTRY NUMBERS in Zone info sheet)
This year each school will be completing their swimming entries for the zone using Hytek Team Manager software. You will need to download Team Manager Lite. If you downloaded it a last year you can use that program,
It is free to download from:
Steps to find and download the software:
- Go to the above web address
- Make sure you are in Swimming. Scroll down and click on Lite.
This will allow you to download a compressed file which you then open when you are on the computer on which you will do your entries. I have found that if you use a school computer or laptop you have to have administrator permission to load the program on to your computer. Therefore your choices are: download onto a memory stick and open it on the computer you wish to use for your entries ( I think you still have to have administrator permission if you use a school laptop or computer), download on to a personal computer, or ask the school computer administrator to assist.
Don’t try to do your entries on TM Lite until you receive the Events file attached to an email that I will send you (I will also send it to the school email address). Do not try to open it (you can only open it through the TM program. Save it to desktop or somewhere to use when you start your entries.
Once the program is loaded on your computer:
- Open Swimming Lite.
- Initial screens – choose English in the Select language screen, OK for the next info screen and Close for the What’s New in TM 8screen.
- Click on File – Open/New
In the Filename box type: 2017Western Suburbs PSSA Swimming Carnival
- Click – Open.
- You will then have a new screen to complete: ( as follows)
Make this 31/12/17
- Click OK
- Next you add your events. This is an attachment that I send you.
From your emails, save the events attachment sent to you into C/TM8data or to your desktop.
Back in Lite go File...Import..Meet Events. Go through the steps indicated.

For relays click New Relay, drag the swimmer’s name across to a relay position or double click their name. If you make a mistake, double click their name in the relay list and it will disappear. No times needed for relays.
For individual events type the swimmer’s time in the custom box and press return. The Enteredbox then appears ticked and that entered swimmer is highlighted in yellow. When typing times don’t worry about punctuation - that is, for 57.16 just type 5716 and for 1:16.00 type 11600.
