[Vbsl] Automatic Timing Systems - Timecards

[Kevin Nicholas, CPAC Team Rep]

I am going to enter the DQs in MM, but give the opposing teams their slips 
to take with them...I don't want to create another log I have to keep...I 
will make sure they bring their slips to the divisional meeting...Kevin

> Timers will verify relay names and swimmer names and make any annotations
