make_lineup_helper {SwimmeR}

Determine optimal entries against a given opponent lineup

Description

Matches athletes into events. Each event is filled by the least capable (slowest) swimmer who can win or place in that event. For example if Team A has six breaststrokers at 57.00, 58.00, 59.00 and three 1:00.00s and Team B has three breaststrokers, all 1:01.00 then Team A's entries will be the three 1:00.00s because they're sufficient to win.
