First public release coming soon.

Portable: no installer, no administrator rights, and it works with no internet connection. Needs a SportSystems v5 meet folder with a reports folder inside.

Meet Sheets after choosing a meet: Start Lists, Timekeeper Sheets and Results.

Three sheets every meet needs

Each one replaces a SportSystems Word macro. Save it as a PDF for the meet's web pages, or send it straight to the printer. Shown here with a made-up demo meet.

First page of a start list PDF: Session 1 with heats, lanes, names, ages, clubs and entry times in two columns.

Start lists

A whole session on A4, with relays, reserves, finals rounds and para classes.

First page of the timekeeper sheets PDF for lane 1: each event and heat with the swimmer, club and an empty time box.

Timekeeper sheets

One page per lane for the session, with lap boxes for freestyle swims of 400m and over.

First page of a combined results PDF: event 401 results by age group with places, times and points.

Combined results

Any range of events in one PDF, with splits, relay legs and DQ, DNC, DNS and DNF rows.

From meet folder to printer

  1. Choose the meet folder

    Open the app and click Choose meet folder…. Pick the meet's own folder, the one with reports and webpages inside. Then choose what you want to make.

    The home screen after choosing a meet, offering Start Lists, Timekeeper Sheets and Results.

  2. Start lists

    • Pick the session.
    • Add a logo if you like (PNG, JPG or SVG).
    • The meet name comes from the start list; type over it if you want.
    • Add a comments line, such as warm-up and start times.

    Your logo, meet name and comments are remembered for this meet.

    The Start Lists tab with Session 1 chosen, the meet name filled in and a comments line reading Warm-up 08:00 - Start 09:00.

  3. Timekeeper sheets

    Pick the session and the pool: Short course or Long course. The pool only changes the lap boxes, and it starts on short course every time, so check it before printing.

    The Timekeeper Sheets tab with a session picker and a Short course or Long course switch.

  4. Results

    Choose the from and to events. They start on the newest session with results and follow new results as they arrive. Press Refresh as each event finishes.

    An event whose results are still being written is left out, and the app tells you which.

    The Results tab with events 401 to 409 chosen, a Refresh button, logo, meet name and comments line.

  5. Save or print

    Save opens the normal Save dialog in the right folder, with a sensible name: start1.pdf, result4.pdf or SM26S1-TK.pdf. Print opens the print dialog. Nothing prints by itself.

    Good to know

    • It only reads the start lists and results in the meet's reports folder. It never changes anything SportSystems wrote.
    • It re-reads the folder each time you switch tab, so new results appear without restarting.
    • Fonts are built in, so the PDFs look the same on every computer.
    • Light, dark or system theme. Click the version number for what's new.

Opening it the first time

Mac

  1. Open the downloaded Meet-Sheets-mac.zip to unzip it.
  2. Move Meet Sheets to Applications, or anywhere you like.
  3. Double-click it. macOS asks once whether to open an app from the internet: click Open.

Signed and notarised by Apple. Needs a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later).

Windows

  1. Save Meet-Sheets-windows.exe anywhere. A USB stick is fine; there's nothing to install.
  2. Double-click it.
  3. If Windows says "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.

Windows 10 and 11 already include WebView2, which the app needs.

Usage stats: what it sends, and how to stop it

When you save or print a PDF, the app sends a tiny note: the meet name on the PDF, the date and time, which sheet, Save or Print, the app version, Windows or Mac, and a random code for the computer. Nothing about swimmers, clubs, results or your files is ever sent, and the internet address isn't kept.

Turn it off in Settings (the gear) → Send usage stats. Full privacy details.
