Seeding and Reseeding
In order to use your Session
timelines, you need to seed at
least once (heat/ lane placement
in each event)
Prelim/ Final events

Seeding of finals depend on
results from prelims
Rule of Thumb:

Don’t print your relay cards until after
you print your programs/ heat sheets
Seed and reseed as often as you
need to UNTIL you print all the
heat sheets/ program and take it
to the printers

Programs for sale need to be as
accurate as possible
