Remember that while you are allowed to update entry times for your swimmers until the entry deadline, OME will NOT do this automatically. If swimmers improve their times after you have entered them, you need to log back into OME and select the faster times for them.  Also, please remember to use the Entry Fee Summary and Waiver sheet in each meet announcement to calculate what you owe to the hosts.
