MEET MANAGER Pro Option
The Pro option for Hy-Tek's T&F MEET MANAGER for Windows includes two very powerful features:
* Multi-User Network Feature
This option will permit up to 9 users to share the same Track & Field Meet Manager database. Up to four computers can be inputting results from different locations in the track stadium, while two other stations can be handling check-in, scratching, and seeding, while 3 other stations can be designated with report and label only permissions. This permits you great flexibility in running your track meet and solves the common problem of communicating changes from the clerks to the result operators and quickly providing information to the media. The Multi-User Network Option provides the tools for you to effectively manage the permission levels for each computer.
* Real-Time Results Upload to the Web
TFWin-MM Procan upload a complete results web page with the event list indexed into each event's result without the web master writing a single line of HTML code. In addition, as the meet progresses, TFWin-MM Pro can upload the results to the web site for the just completed Event or the just completed Heat with one key stroke. This is a great feature for parents, athletes, and coaches to actually watch the meet live as it happens. It's also a possible revenue source for the host club if they want to provide advertising space on the results web page.
Hy-Tek's T&F MEET MANAGER for Windows Pro works with any Windows based peer-to-peer Network with a standard Fast Ethernet card in each computer with the appropriate cabling. Hy-Tek recommends a 500 MHz or faster computer with 128 MB RAM for the computer that will contain the shared Database.
Photo Finish Interface
Hy-Tek's PhotoFinish INTERFACEsoftware connects your MEET MANAGER computer directly to your photofinish computer and exchanges start lists and results automatically and electronically, enabling the Hy-Tek operator to freely enter results for field events, to seed later events, to print reports, or to do any other administrative task associated with running the meet. Start lists and results are transmitted electronically over a standard RS-232 communications cable available on all computers, whether IBM or Macintosh - no keying in times and no mistakes!
Hy-Tek interfaces directly to FinishLynx, MacFinish, and all Omega computer photofinish systems. With FinishLynx, besides the serial interface, Hy-Tek can also exchange start lists and results by sharing files on a network
Button Finish Interface
Hy-Tek's Button Finish INTERFACEsoftware connects your MEET MANAGER computer directly to your button finish timer for downloading the complete list of times for a Cross Country or Road Race. Select times are also downloaded. This interface option also gives you the capability to print bar codes and to read-in the bar codes with any bar code reader that connects to the keyboard port.
Hy-Tek interfaces directly to the Time Machine, Time Tech Sprint 8, Chronomix 737, and Omega Power Time button timing systems. Hy-Tek also interfaces with the Nielsen-Kellerman Interval 2000xc stop watch.
FieldLynx Interface
Hy-Tek's FieldLynx INTERFACE software allows your MEET MANAGER computer directly to exchange start lists and results with FinishLynx's FieldLynx Palm Pilot either through direct serial download or via network file sharing using a wireless network.
Scoreboard Interface
Hy-Tek's Scoreboard INTERFACE connects Hy-Tek's MEET MANAGER computer directly to most fixed digit and alphanumeric scoreboard systems. Start lists, heat results, field results, award ceremony lists, and team scores can be displayed from Hy-Tek's software. Transmission to the scoreboard is over a standard RS-232 communications cable available on all computers.
Hy-Tek interfaces to Daktronics, Fairtron, OLYMPEX, and Trans-Lux scoreboards. Hy-Tek also has a generic scoreboard output that can be used by TV or any other scoreboard vendor.
What You Will Need to Run MM
MM is a true 32 bit Windows application and requires a Pentium, Celeron, or AMD computer of at least 300 MHz (preferably a 500 MHz or faster) with at least 32 MB of RAM (preferably 64 MB of RAM or more) and either Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Windows XP. Because MM screens automatically resize to your monitor resolution, the larger your monitor the better. MM is shipped on CD so you will also need a CD-ROM drive on your computer.

Licensing Options for MEET MANAGER
The MEET MANAGER software may be licensed in the following ways:
1. Club or Team License
This is our most popular License option and allows the Club or Team to run any meet that is SPONSORED BY and COMPETED IN by that club or team. For example, if MEET MANAGER is licensed to Central High School, the software may be used to run all of the home dual meets at Central High School as well as any invitational meets that are sponsored by and participated in by the Central High School Track & Field Team.
2. Championship Meet License
This License option allows the software to be used to run a particular championship meet. A typical use of this License option would be to run the State Championship meet that is rotated each year among different High Schools.
3. Site License
A facility may want to order MEET MANAGER and use it for all the meets that are run at that one facility - USATF, Masters/Veterans, High School, College, etc. The Site License option annual subscription fee is $250.00 and includes FREE Updates.
4. Organizational License
A Track & Field Organization may want to order MEET MANAGER and use it for the meets that they sponsor and run (up to a max of 10 meets per year) - as long as there are no concurrently run meets and it is loaded on only one computer (one set of computers when using the Network Pro option). An example of this type of Organizational License option would be for a USATF Association for their meets that they run each year. This License is not an option for club sponsored meets. The Organizational License option annual subscription fee is $250.00 and includes FREE Updates.
