This page is the overview. Use the linked articles below for step-by-step detail.

If you are creating or checking a T&F meet before race day, start with:

If you are focused on a specific event type or workflow, go directly to:

Create the meet with sport set to Indoor Track & Field or Outdoor Track & Field.
Build divisions and events, making sure each event has the correct discipline.
Configure rounds for events that use prelims, semis, or finals.
Import athletes and entries from a semicolon-format file or another source.
Review relay entries, team structure, and scoring settings.
Use the seeding workflow to assign heats, lanes, or flights.
Use seeding profiles and round strategy saves to standardize defaults across events.
Record running and field-event results.
For field events, use the event-level Field Input workflow from Entries when entering a full flight.
Review team scores, reports, exports, and publishing outputs.

Use Track and Field Setup if you are still defining the meet structure.

Use Seeding and Advancement if you are assigning heats or moving athletes between rounds.

Use Seeding Profiles and Defaults if you want new meets and rounds to inherit smarter seeding defaults.

Use Team-Lane Seeding if teams need reserved lane ownership in lane-start events.

Use Field Events if you are entering jumps, throws, heights, passes, fouls, wind, or full field-event flights.

Use Relays if you are working with school squads, letters, or relay leg information.

Use Track and Field Team Scoring if you are configuring points ladders or scorer caps.

Use Multi-Events if one combined event is made of several scored sub-events.

Use FinishLynx for Track and Field if your race-day workflow depends on Lynx exchange files or LIF/LFF imports.
