# ProScore meet setup

> How to create and configure a meet in Gym Art Meets if you're coming from ProScore.

**Prerequisites:** You have a Gym Art Meets account and have [created a club](https://docs.gymart.org/club-management/create-a-club).

## In ProScore

In ProScore, you launch the Windows desktop application, create a new meet (or restore from a backup file), enter meet details (name, dates, venue, sanction number), select which USAG levels and age divisions will participate, configure entry fees and budget settings, and set up the meet structure. ProScore auto-populates many scoring rules based on the selected federation (USAG, NGA, AAU, etc.) and level.

## In Gym Art Meets

The same workflow in Gym Art Meets follows these steps:

### 1. Create the Meet

Go to your club dashboard and create a new meet. You'll set the **meet name**, **dates**, **venue/address**, and **discipline** (WAG, MAG, etc.).

> See [How to create a meet](https://docs.gymart.org/meet-setup/create-a-meet)

### 2. Add Levels (Replaces ProScore Level Selection)

Where ProScore has you select levels from a predefined federation list (e.g., USAG Level 5 WAG), Gym Art Meets separates this into **levels** and **age groups**:

* **Level** = the competition category (Level 5, Xcel Gold, etc.) with its own capacity and pricing
* **Age Group** = a birth date range within that level

Create one level for each competition category. Set the per-gymnast fee (replaces ProScore entry fees). Note that ProScore may auto-populate scoring rules from the selected federation; in Gym Art Meets you configure these explicitly.

> See [How to create a level](https://docs.gymart.org/levels/create-a-level)

### 3. Configure Score Settings per Level

In ProScore, score calculation rules are often implicitly determined by the selected federation and level. In Gym Art Meets, they're set explicitly on the **level** and inherited by all competitions within it:

* **Individual score settings** - tiebreakers, vault decision, rank method, initial execution trimming
* **Team score settings** - team size, count-from/count-toward, selection method

> See [Individual score settings](https://docs.gymart.org/levels/individual-score-settings) and [Team score settings](https://docs.gymart.org/levels/team-score-settings)

### 4. Create Age Groups and Subdivisions

In ProScore, "age divisions" are set during meet setup and may follow federation-defined rules (e.g., USAG JO age groups). In Gym Art Meets:

* **Age groups** group gymnasts by birth date range - you define these manually per level
* **Subdivisions** split a competition for scheduling and optionally for awards

> See [Create age groups](https://docs.gymart.org/competitions/create-age-groups) and [Create subdivisions](https://docs.gymart.org/competitions/create-subdivisions)

### 5. Set Registration Settings

ProScore does not include built-in online registration - registration is typically handled externally (email, paper forms, or through MyUSAGym). Gym Art Meets has built-in online registration with open/close dates, capacity limits, and Stripe payment.

> See [Set registration settings](https://docs.gymart.org/meet-setup/set-registration-settings)
