Just curious to know what everyones opinion is about this software. I for one am not a big fan of it - it doesnt seem to be very friendly towards masters events (although this might be premature) How come a company or someone has not developed an web based application that utilizes SQL/Php or XML? Is this company the only game in the marketplace? What do other clubs use? 2ndly - of you coaches or clubs out there that have underwater cameras in use what type/kind are you using? software?

    Agree with the above. Hy-tek tightly protects their little monopoly. It deters competition. Any competitor to Hy-tek would have to be well funded and willing to take on a long fight for market share. They need to have support from the timing console makers - who probably aren't too motivated to deal with a new software product/company that could embarrass them if it didn't work well in a big meet. I am curious - is Hy-tek Meet Manager used at the very largest international meets like Worlds and the Olympics?
