Now - a question concerning the "Score fastest heat only" -

As per the "Score only fastest heat" checkmark....
Meet Manager -> Setup -> Entry/Scoring Prefs -> Scoring Awards ->

Why do teams use that checkmark settting,
and why is "summer leagues" specifically mentioned in the Help text -

Beats me on summer leagues. Useful in a prelim/finals meet where the night
session features a finals heat and a consolation heat, so consolations
swimmers can be no higher than 9th.

Score fastest heat ONLY, Regardless of Overall Place

Click on this check box and Win-MM will assign points to Athletes and
Relays that have been seeded in the Fastest Heat ONLY. For example, if
an Athlete in the 3rd fastest heat swims the fastest time, he/she is NOT
eligible for first place Points or Awards. This is used primarily in
Summer type recreation leagues, but can be used in Prelim / Final meets
where there is more than one heat for the second round. Note that "score
fastest heat only" does not apply to events that are multi-age group and
does not apply to meets that have a Meet Type of Divisions by Time
Standards, Divisions by Flight, Divisions by Team, or Divisions by
Entry.

The summer league i used to coach in only allowed three scoring
swimmers per team. At the agreement of both coaches you could add
"exhibition" heats, but these swimmers, regardless of their time,
could not score.

i believe rules like that are fairly common to summer league swimming.

Perhaps, but a better way of accomplishing this is the use of A-Final +
B-Final.

Exhibition swims have a little checkbox that will mark them as such.
