Deck entries for local swim meets

Curious to know how clubs which permit same day deck entries for swim meets handle the registration and payment process.

How do you manage the following?

  • Register using a paper entry form at the check-in table?
  • Register at a laptop computer or tablet at the check-in table?
  • Register using personal device? Like a smart phone?
  • If paper entry form is permitted are checks accepted as a form of payment?

  • In the past our local mini meet has offered same day deck entries via paper entry form, payment with cash or check. These close 30 minutes before warmups end to give time for inputting the entry before the meet starts. It really depends if you have a strong system and people in place to process deck entries.  Some years we have a couple of people, at most 12!
