If you continue to run the event then those divers will be unregistered and the diving order for that event will be resequenced so that the order is sequential. Please be aware that if you also have uploaded your event to an electronic timing system then you may need to re-upload your event to the timer because the diving order will have changed.

It was pretty awesome !! The meet ran exceptionally well and we finished ahead of schedule (about 45 minutes on average) on every event for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We would have finished early on Sunday as well but the power went out in the pool and we had to wait for it to come back on.
