Qualifications:

Qualification Course Conformance: This field sets whether a nonconforming time (i.e. LC for SC meet or SC for LC meet) can be used and how it is handled.

• Allow conforming only – Entrants can only use a time swum in a conforming course (i.e. SC only for SC meet or LC only for LC meet).
• Allow converted nonconforming – Entrants can use a converted nonconforming time if they do not have a conforming time (i.e. SC time +2% for LC meet or LC time -2% for SC meets).
• Allow unconverted nonconforming – Entrants can use an unconverted nonconforming time if they do not have a conforming time (i.e. LC time can be used for SC meet or SC time can be used for LC meet).

Minimum Result Timing:

This field allows you to set what timing type can be used as a minimum, by entrants to enter the meet.

• Manual – Entrants must have a Manual time
• Semi-Electronic – Entrants must have a Semi-Electronic (Semi-Automatic) time
• Electronic – Entrants must have an Electronic (Automatic) time

Seeding:

• Qualification Seeding: This field allows you to set which seed time is taken for an entrant, ONLY if they are using a nonconforming entry time.

1. Use unconverted entry time:  Entrants will be entered using their entry time, unconverted. Swim Central will export using the exact race result,, including course type and result/split time. Meet Manager will perform its own internal conformance corrections.
2. Use converted nonconforming time:  Entrants will be entered using their nonconforming time converted (i.e. SC time +2% for LC meet or LC time -2% for SC meets). Swim Central will export applying a 2% conversion factor, and then indicate to Meet Manager that the time is conformant so that no further calculations are performed after export.
3. Use unconverted nonconforming time:  Entrants will be entered using their nonconforming time unconverted (i.e. LC time can be used for SC meet or SC time can be used for LC meet). Swim Central will export without applying a conversion factor but will lie to Meet Manager to say that the time is conformant so that no further calculations are performed after export.
4. Use conforming qualification time:  Entrants will be entered on the conforming qualification time. The non-conforming time is simply overridden by the QT for the race. No further calculations are performed after export. 

Please note that Swim Central will always look for a conforming time, and only if a conforming time cannot be found will it consider and use a non conforming time.
