Once you have created a Lineage you will require an Event Library. This is a set of standard events that you draw upon to create a program.
These events are associated with the current lineage and will apply to all carnivals in the same lineage.
Typical Event Library
These entries tell SportsTrak how to behave with different event types. You may add to or edit these events. You are not required to use them, but any event on the program must be here.

This is what will appear on the program, so be consistent with formatting, capitalisation etc
