Eligibility: All swimmers must be registered with United States Masters Swimming Inc. All swimmers are responsible for their USMS cards and may be required to show them upon request by officials in order to compete in the meet. All meet entry forms must be accompanied by a copy of the swimmer’s current USMS registration card. All swimmers must be USMS-registered before warm-up starts on Saturday, March 3, 2012, at 10:00 AM. Each swimmer is eligible to swim a maximum of 10 individual events for the meet (limit five a day), plus relays. The age reported on your entry form must reflect your actual age as registered with USMS. Your age on the last day of the meet determines your age for the meet.

Deck entries: Deck entries will be accepted until 10:30 AM Saturday and 8:00 AM Sunday. You may deck enter Sunday events on Saturday as well as on Sunday. Deck entries for the 1650 yard freestyle subject to available lanes.

Lane assignments: Each event will be seeded by the pre-entered seed time of each swimmer, with the slowest heats first. No time (NT) will be seeded in the slower heats. Swimmers will be seeded according to time, regardless of age. Men and women will be seeded separately, except for the 1650 and 500 yard freestyles.

1650 freestyle - The Maehr Mile: This event, named “The Maehr Mile,” in memory of our teammate Dave Maehr, is limited to the first 40 entries (men and women). All swimmers will swim one to a lane. Please submit a seed time for this event (i.e., no NT’s). The event will be seeded by Thursday evening, March 2, and posted on the Kentucky LMSC website (www.kylmsc.org). Entries received after this point (including deck entries) will be placed in any open lanes. If there are no open lanes, you may not enter this event. Please enter early to guarantee your place!

Team reps: All USMS-registered clubs and SKY teams should inform the meet director of one official team representative before the start of event 1 or upon the team’s arrival.

Relays: All relays will be deck entered. Team representatives or coaches will be responsible for all relay entries and picking up the official relay entry form and be responsible for printing legibly all information asked for, and each swimmer’s name as registered with USMS, age, and gender on the form.

Awards: Awards will be given to the top scoring visiting team in small, medium and large divisions. Divisions will be determined after close of entries. Individual awards will be given for first through eighth place by age groups and gender from 19-24 through 100+, and relays for first through eighth by age groups 19+, 25+, 35+, 45+, 55+, 65+, 75+, 85+, and 95+.
