A team competes in the preliminaries in the morning, but the whole team has to catch a flight and will miss the finals. In this case you may want to scratch the whole team from finals before seeding
This purge selection can be a real time saver. There are two main situations where you would use this selection.
•One is where you have a team that has entered and notifies you the day before the meet that they cannot attend. You can use this selection to scratch the entire team from the meet.
•Another common situation is where a team is flying home after the prelims on the last day of a prelim / final meet. You can select the finals session for say Sunday night and select the team or teams leaving early and scratch them all from finals. In this case, do not perform the scratching until after the prelims are completed for that day.
