[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it has been mentioned but do teams in NVSL use SwimTopia? Parents can mark their kid as available or not for an A meet in SwimTopia then when someone on the team loads the kids’ events for that A meet, SwimTopia shows the events for parents to see. All this emailing and calling around to every family sounds very Manual and time consuming.[/quote]

We do, but it's new this year so everyone is still getting used to it. Not everyone has downloaded the app. Parents still have to log in to declare availability. We don't publish the entries until everything is finalized, and parents expressed that they prefer getting an email with the info rather than a notification that the entries are published and then having to log in to look at them.

We may gradually move to a more Swimtopia- automated approach, but it'll take more than the first week to get everyone used to it.[/quote]

We get the list of A meet swimmers on Wednesday night. Then our team reps lock Swimtopia down until they have seen the other team’s list of swimmers and have made the final decisions of who swims what for our team. So we effectively see SwimTopia at the same time we get the email with Saturday assignments.[/quote]
That approach would violate the strict data exchange rules for NVSL. Teams cannot see the other team’s roster until its own seeding is locked and submitted. [/quote]

My understanding is that with Swimtopia you can't even do this as teams can not see the other team's entries until BOTH teams have locked them in. [/quote]
That has been the case for at least the 8 years I’ve been volunteering for the NVSL. Teams cannot see entries from the other team until they’re locked. This prevents teams from changing their lineups after seeing who’s swimming (and what) for the opponent. 
In the past, they were locked and sent to a neutral data coordinator for the division to merge and create heat sheets. I think this is now done via SwimTopia. [/quote]
