# Customising your heat draw

LiveHeats uses an algorithm to generate a draw based on the common draw types in the sports we support. You can always customise the draw to your preference by:

* [customising the progression within a round](https://liveheats.crisp.help/en/article/customising-seeding-progression-or-advancement-within-a-round-rwvo5z/)
* [customising the progression from a round](https://liveheats.crisp.help/en/article/configuring-custom-progression-rules-from-a-round-g6porx/)
* dragging/dropping names, adding new athletes to heats, and deleting athletes
* editing the **Division settings** at the division level, or **Round settings** at the round level

After saving any settings changes, you can rebuild the draw with the changes clicking the  **Redraw** button, which will re-build your draw with the athletes in your seed list, and the new settings.
