Swimming, cross country, track, and wrestling meets have a meet format: Dual, Triangular, Quad, or Invitational. The format decides how the meet counts toward your team's W-L record. You choose it when you create the meet, and you can change it later on the meet's score page.
Note: If a format is missing from Meet Format, your association likely turned it off for the season.
How Meet Formats Work
Dual (two teams): Saved as a head-to-head matchup, scored head to head on the program page, and counts toward the W-L record.
Dual (three or more teams): Each pair of schools gets its own dual. A meet with 3 schools has 3 duals. The duals count toward team records, not the meet's placings.
Triangular or Quad: A Triangular (three teams) or Quad (four teams) counts toward the W-L record from its placings once scored.
Invitational: Scored like any other meet. Your association decides whether Invitational meets count toward team records.

If you chose Dual with three or more schools, Bound creates one dual per pair of schools. The event's schedule labels the meet Dual Meet with the number of duals (for example, Dual Meet · 3 duals), and each of your team's duals is listed under the meet on your team's schedule.
