This page describes how to create a file of your diving entries that can be imported directly into eDive.

To create a file of your entries that can be imported directly into eDive please follow these guidleines. You can use Notepad or any text editor to create a file in the following format. Please make sure the file is saved as normal text (.txt) and not rich-text (.rtf).

• The name of the file can be anything. In order for the meet host to differentiate between all of the files they will get it is recommended that you name the file using your team name. So if your team is from Johnson High School then name your text file "Johnson.txt".
  
• If your team is competing in multiple events then you will need to create one file per event. This file will contain all of your entries for that event. If this is the case then also add the event name to your filename. So, for example, if your team name is Johnson High School and you have divers competing in the Boys Group A 1m and Boys Group B 1m events, then you would create two files called Johnson_BoysA1m.txt and Johnson_BoysB1m.txt. A future version of this import functionality will allow you to place all of your entries for all events in one file.
  
• The text file can only contain entries for one specific event.
  
• There should be no empty lines at the beginning or end of the file.
  
• Each diver should only be listed once in the file.
  
• Each line will be a complete entry record for that diver. All of one divers information must be listed on the same line. It will contain the divers name, the team name and the divers list of dives separated by commas. The format for each line will be ...
  

  "divername","teamname",dive1,dive2,dive3,dive4,dive5,dive6,dive7,dive8,dive9, etc.
  

• Where each round will be the dive the diver is doing in that round. The round must contain the dive number followed by the position. If the dive is a required/voluntary dive then please add the letter V after the dive position (as in 401AV). If there are only 4 rounds in the event you are creating entries for then only enter 4 dives.
  
• The divers name must be enclosed in double quote marks. So John Smith should be listed as "John Smith". The quotes are not two single quotes ('') at the beginning and at the end but rather one double quote (") at the beginning and another double quote at the end.
  
• The team name must be enclosed in double quote marks. So Johnson High School should be listed as "Johnson High School". The quotes are not two single quotes ('') at the beginning and at the end but rather one double quote (") at the beginning and another double quote at the end.
  
• The dive numbers for each round are listed in round order and separated by a single comma. Dive positions are listed directly after each dive number. So a 403 pike would be listed as 403B.
  
• If the dive is a voluntary/required dive then the dive position must be followed by the letter V. So a 401 pike voluntary would be listed as 401BV.
  
• Capitalization does not matter in the divers name, team name or dive positions. But please note that the divers name and team name will be added to the meet hosts database exactly as typed. So if you want the team name listed as "Johnson High School" then you need to capitalize the J, H and S.
  
• The order that the divers are listed in the text file does not matter.
  
• Do not include spaces around the commas separating the information.
  

Here is an example of an entry text file for Johnson High School. This high school has 4 divers each doing 11 dives.
