8.5.4.1.1-7.1Event Draw
Selecting any of the Event/Relay draw items will allow the draw for the
related events to be entered. When entering a draw, team numbers designated
in the league programme should be used starting in first column. When
setting the draws for an event that does not occur during the particular
round it should be left blank as it will be ignored during the match.
No checking occurs at this point with regard to accuracy of team numbers or
the number of entries made against each event. If an event is left partially
filled, e.g. six columns for a eight team match, or empty it will be saved as
such.
E.G. Setting some of the A-string and relay orders for a six team mens match (with
match numbers of different leagues). Note that the 200M and 110MH do not
use lanes 1 and 2, also the 4x100M does not use lane 1.
