SEEDING & LANE
ASSIGNMENTS:                Each event will be seeded by the pre-entered seedtime of each swimmer, with the slower heats first (except the 1500, which will be swum fastest to slowest).  The meet will be deck seeded according to times submitted, regardless of age and gender.  No time (NT) will be seeded in the slower heats.  Swimmers are responsible to report to the blocks on time for their appropriate heat and lane for each event.  Heat and lane assignments for all events will be posted by 1:00pm on the day of competition.

STARTING
PROCEDURE:                    103.8.5—Start Commands
A At the commencement of each heat, the referee shall signal to the swimmers by a
short series of whistles to remove all clothing except for swimwear, followed by a
long whistle indicating that they should take their positions with at least one foot
at the front of the starting platform, the edge of the pool or on the wall and remain
there. In backstroke and medley relay events, at the referee’s first long whistle the
swimmers shall immediately enter the water and at the second long whistle shall
return without undue delay to the starting position (article 101.1.2).
B When the swimmers and officials are ready, the referee shall signal with an outstretched
arm to the starter that the swimmers are under the starter’s control.
C On the starter’s command “Take your mark,” the swimmers shall immediately assume
their starting position with at least one foot at the front of the starting platform.
Swimmers starting in the water must have at least one hand in contact with the wall
or starting platform. When all swimmers are stationary, the starter shall give the
starting signal.
D For backstroke event starts, the starter may give the command “Place your feet”
after the referee’s whistle.

RELAYS:                             All relays are deck entered.  Any combination of all male and female relays may compete in relay events.  The aggregate age of the four relay team members shall determine the age group (e.g. 76-99, 100-119, 120-159, etc…).

                                                Official relay cards are to be picked up from the Clerk of Course by a team representative who is responsible for the relay.  The relay representative should print legibly all information required.  Each card should include the swimmer’s name as on the USMS registration card in order of relay swum; first name, last name, age and gender.  Cards shall be returned to the computer table by 12:30pm on 6/22/19

AWARDS:
