AthleticRUNMEET XC
AthleticRUNMEET XC can greatly simplify the process of preparing for Cross Country competitions. RunMeet XC saves you time and integrates with the entry collection functions of an AthleticNET meet, on the Manage Meet page. In RunMeet you can quickly seed the meet, print entries, results, rosters, and enter results for quick publishing to AthleticNET and AthleticLIVE.
SETUP AND SETTINGS
To get started go to your event page and click on RunMeet

This will take you through the setup process for RunMeet XC. The first thing you need to decide is whether you are timing your event by Hand or with a Fully Automatic Timing system (FAT) that outputs a LIF file. The options are:
![](https://files.helpdocs.io/m4shxzbg12/articles/xul5bj3ytz/1721163799447/connect-to-run-meet-xc-v-3.jpg)
- Toggle the Auto Import Result (.lif) Files to OFF if you are Hand Timing.
- Toggle the Auto Import Result (.lif) Files to ON if you are using Fully Automatic Timing.
Filter Results by Entry
The next step is to decide if you need to 'Filter Results by Entry'. When 'Filter Results by Entry' is turned on for an event, when RunMeet XC imports a .LIF results file, the results will be created only for athletes who have an entry in the selected event and division.

The final step in meet setup is to allocate Bib Numbers to athletes as follows:
