Interestingly enough, the 10 lane pool doesn't seem to be seeded correctly...
It appears the computer is seeding like this:
5-6-4-7-3-8-2-9-1-0
when it should be:
4-5-3-6-2-7-1-8-0-9
Perhaps Lanes 0 and 1 are "lower priority" lanes. This is from the Meet Manager help files:
In addition to these very specific options, Win-MM also offers you the option of customizing Lane Preferences based on the particular setup of your pool. In most cases, no changes should be made to these "standard" lane preferences. For example, for meets using 8 lanes, the default standard lane preferences will be lane 4 for fastest, lane 5 for 2nd fastest, lane 3 for 3rd fastest, lane 6 for 4th, etc. But, if you are swimming in a pool where Lanes 5 and 6 are at the shallow end and you wish to give them "lower priority" in terms of lane preferences, you might want to seed the fastest in Lane 3, then 2, then 4, then 1, then 5, then 6. Another example is if you have a 10 lane pool and are using only the middle 8 lanes, change the 8 lane row to 5, 6, 4, 7, 3, 8, 2, 9 and in the Events Menu, set-up each event's number of lanes to be 8 standard lanes instead of 10 standard lanes.
