I am giving a clinic/seminar in about a week to a group of coaches and will be showing EMMXC.  I would like to collect the top five hints/tips that each of you has learned about the program.  We might all learn a little something.

Not really a tip, or trick...but first thing that comes to mind is: "Don't rename the tabs (worksheets)."  The current version uses them to find data, and the upload won't work correctly if they are renamed.  Will try to change this behavior in future versions.

I'll try to get on here again with a few more, but that is the first that popped into my mind.

At least as a reminder, have coaches see the Help tab for step-by-step instructions, or for advanced setup instructions.  Particularly the Scoring section, as through the advanced setup options, meet hosts can score just about any type of meet.

It may appear long, but the information is great.  Josh was able to detail and lay out the directions and multiple options available with the EMMxc, very well.

about where I was interrupted so back to it hopefully tonight

I assume I can rename the file, just not the tabs, correct?  I see you can now have multiple instances open so presumably you can work on two races at once for example?
