Scoring: None
Distance Events: A positive check-in will be required for the 500 Free and the 1000 free. Check-in will be required at
the place for check-in by the time stated at the coaches' meeting. Heats will be swum fastest to slowest, all age
groups (within the session) combined, women alternating with men, separated for score/awards by age group
offered at the meet (per legislation dated June 17, 2008). Minnesota Scratch rules will be in effect. There will be a
10-minute break prior to the start of the session's distance races.
BB/B/C Meet Relays: Clubs need to be attentive when setting up relays for BB/B/C meets. There are two important
rules which complicate these events. First, any swimmer who has an "A" time in a particular stroke may not swim
that stroke on a relay regardless of the distance of either the relay or the swimmer's "A" event (i.e., if a swimmer has
an "A" time in the 1650 Free, they are not allowed to swim on any Free relay; however, they may swim a stroke in
which they do not have an "A" time). Second, non-championship BB/B/C meets now allow for all relays to include
swimmers in that designated age group AND YOUNGER -- 10 & Under, 12 & Younger, etc. So, you may include a 10year-old on a 12 & Under relay as long as that swimmer does not have a 11-12 "A" time in the stroke they will be
swimming.
Open Lane Swims: The MSI "Open Lane Swim" procedure will be available at the meet. The splash fee is $5.00.
Sign-up is on a first-come basis at the timing table. Swimmers must be registered in the swim meet in order to have
the opportunity to participate in Open Lane Swims. In the event of a missed heat, swimmers may only swim in their
own age group and only in the same event and distance that they were originally entered in. Swimmers may swim
events for which they have no times. Swimmers may not exceed the event limit of four event INCLUDING Open Lane
Swims. Swimmers may scratch an event in order to swim an Open Lane Swim to stay within the entry limit. No
refunds will be given for scratched events.
Fees: $1.50 per entrant listed on the entry sheet, $4.00 per individual splash, $16.00 per relay entered. Summary
cost per calculation sheet. Swimmers listed as relay alternates only do not pay a fee.
Checks must accompany entries and made payable to: Northfield Swim Club.
Concessions: Will be provided.
Four-Hour Rule for Age Group Sessions: The USA Swimming four-hour rule will be followed. If the meet becomes
too large, MSI 4-Hour Rule Policy (#244) will be followed.
Meet Information, Rules and Regulations: All information rules and regulations, including time standards,
schedules, orders of events, meet operations and requirements will be found in the Minnesota Competitive Rules
and Regulations and United States Swimming Rules and Regulations current editions.
USA Swimming Membership: All swimmers must be current 2014 or 2015 registered athlete members of USA
Swimming. All coaches must be current 2014 or 2015 registered non-athlete members of USA Swimming and have
certification required to be a USA Swimming Coach. Any club or individual entering a non-USA Swimming registered
swimmer will be subject to a $25.00 fine per event per swimmer.
Warm-Up: Current MSI and USA Swimming Rules will govern all aspects of the warm-ups and competition.
Swimmers and coaches are expected to be acquainted with all rules and obligations. Failure to follow will result in
disqualification of swimmer(s) or coach(es) from next individual event or expulsion from the meet. The NO Diving
and Slip-In Entry rules will be strictly enforced.
Racing start certification: Any swimmer entered in the meet must be certified by a USA Swimming member-coach
as being proficient in performing a racing start or must start each race from within the water. When unaccompanied
by a member-coach, it is the responsibility of the swimmer or the swimmer’s legal guardian to ensure compliance
with this requirement.
Swimmers without a Coach Present: USA Swimming athlete members must be under the supervision of a USA
Swimming member coach during warm-up, competition and warm-down. The Meet Director or Meet Referee shall
assist the athlete in making arrangements for such supervision.
Purpose: To encourage and promote competitive swimming among age group swimmers.
Entries: All entries must be completed by the entering club or individual who will be solely responsible for the
accuracy of the entry. Please call the entries person for directions if you need to hand deliver.
Timed Finals: This meet is pre-seeded. All swimmers must report to their blocks for the start of their heat.
Time Standards: MN Swimming Time Standards – the most current edition published on the MSI website will be
used. Senior boy events will use the 13-14 age group time standards to qualify. Senior girl events will use the 15-16
age group time standards to qualify.
Timelines: Any timelines provided, whether through the MSI phone line, on the MSI web site, or in the meet
program, are for information purposes only. Session start times are only approximations, be aware that sessions
may start earlier than published.
Changes To The Meet Information: Any changes to the meet information will be discussed, reviewed and voted on
at the coaches meeting held each morning before the beginning of the first session of the day. Changes must be
approved by a 100% vote of coaches in attendance at the appointed meeting.
Meet Committee: A meet committee will be formed by the meet referee. It will consist of at least one official
(excluding the meet referee), one coach (not from the host club) and one athlete (not from the host club). Judgment
decisions cannot be protested.
Coach’s Meeting: Will take place on a regular basis at the discretion of the referee.
Use of audio or visual recording devices, including a cell phone, is not permitted in changing areas, rest rooms or
locker rooms.
Deck changing: Except where venue facilities require otherwise, changing into or out of swimsuits other than in
locker rooms or other designated areas is not appropriate and is strongly discouraged.
We ask that no food be eaten on deck and that all athletes use the locker room doors to enter and exit
the pool area. The main entrance to the pool can be used by officials and coaches.
