I know it's been mentioned on the forums before, but I don't know where and I don't care to look.
I want to swim a USA-S meet but I want the times to count for USMS, how do I go about doing that at the meet?
Thanks!

The USMS database can't extract Prelim times out of the Hytek results file - it only sees Finals or Timed Finals swims (hence my Finals time is posted even though my Prelim swim was slightly faster). Chris Stevenson sent me the SDIF spec so I can manually edit the results file to put your times in there, but it is not straighforward and I haven't had time this week to tinker. Below is the spec in case you want to build the results file. It is interesting reading material :confused::

I'm just kidding about asking you to do it. I can work on it and it is indeed on my to-do list.
What format do the results need to be in to be easily ingestible by USMS?
