Setting Up Waves

Waves determine how you choose to run your comp.  You typically activate one wave at a time (although you can activate more than one if you choose), and the athlete names in that Wave will be loaded into the Line Manager.

You may set your Waves in any way that suits your comp (common Waves are: age group specific (7U, 9U), split age groups (7U group 1, 7U group 2), or combined (7U/9U).  You can also just call them Wave 1, Wave 2, etc.

To set up your Waves, click on the Waves subtab.  

Click on Edit on the bottom of the page.

You will now see this page:

Enter the Wave information for your first wave and click Update (or hit return on your keyboard).

NOTE: DO NOT USE COMMAS IN YOUR WAVE NAMES (this will affect your athlete upload).  Slashes, dashes, and all alpha-numeric characters are fine.

You may set up your Waves however you choose for your comp. Most gyms set them according to divisions, but you are free to combine divisions, split divisions, or set up your waves in whatever way makes sense for your competition.

Repeat until all Waves have been entered.

Once you are finished, your Waves page should look similar to this:

Note: Your start and end times for the waves do NOT need to be exact.  But the waves will be listed in order of start time.  If the same start time is listed for all waves, they will be listed in alphabetical order.

Once your competition status (on the Summary subtab) is changed to Active, this is what the Waves page will look like:

To activate a Wave, click on the gray Inactive button to toggle between Active and Inactive.  You may activate more than one wave at a time, but know that the names for all the activated waves will show up in the Line Manager together.
