Order
This is the sort order of entries in the grid in the Results Explorer.
Grid Control
This is the font used in grids within WinSwim.
Conversion
Base Date
The base date is used when calculating the age of swimmers based on what age they are at the date specified in the calandar.
Time Standards
The times stored in the Top Times are in either of Yards or Meters depending on if you specify Yard for yards or SC/LC Meters for meters.
Disable Meter/Yard Conversion
When a seed time in the Top Times is used in a meet that is in a time standard other than the one specified above, WinSwim will do a conversion of the time to the other format. The calculation for the conversion is determined by the values in the Conversion table using the StrokeKey and Sex to determine the Seconds and Factor.
Calculations
Meter Time = (Yard Time - Seconds) / Factor
Yard Time = (Meter Time * Factor) + Seconds
Disable Altitude Time Conversions
WinSwim has the ability to make seed time conversions based on altitude of the meet. If this option is unchecked then WinSwim will do an altitude conversion when times are placed in entries.
Adjusted Time = Time - Seconds
Always Age-Up to Today
When you go to a new season the ages of swimmers get older as a year goes by. You can let WinSwim automatically adjust the Age in the Members table each time the database is opened by checking this option.

Feature not used.
Maximum Individual Placed Printed
When labels are printed this is a way to limit the number of labels printed. As example, if this value is set to 6th, the only 1st-6th place will be printed. This also controls the automatic placing logic in the results explorer. Any placing above this value is set to participate (PAR) instead of the number.
Maximum Relay Placed Printed
When labels are printed this is a way to limit the number of labels printed. As example, if this value is set to 6th, the only 1st-6th place will be printed.
Interface
This is where you would specify using the Colorado Time Dolphin and the location of the .DO3 files.
