HYV file format

This article is a stub. HYV is the event-list export from Meet Manager, carrying the schedule of what a meet will swim, with no athletes in it, as against the athlete-bearing merge exports that produce an HY3.

It is structurally unlike the rest of the family: where HY3 is fixed-width with a checksum Hy-Tek enforces, an HYV is a semicolon-delimited list whose trailing digits are not a real checksum, and ten of the eighteen fields in an event line have defeated everyone who has tried to identify them. Hy-Tek now pairs it in every event export with a newer format, EV3, which Team Manager 4.0G and later read in preference; see the software overview for what this section covers.
