One 25-yard course will be used for 11 & over finals. Athletes should consider this when selecting events. Warm-up / warm-down lanes will be available in a separate pool throughout the meet.
Eligibility: Open to all registered Potomac Valley Swimming athletes from invited teams. Teams desiring invitations should contact the Meet Director at nielsmoore@yahoo.com. However, please note that while we want as many PVS teams to participate in this meet as possible, space is very limited, as the meet
establishes relatively short timelines for each session.
Swimmers shall compete at the age attained on Saturday, March 24, 2007.
PVS and host clubs along with their Meet Directors are committed to the Inclusion Policy as adopted by the Board of Directors. Athletes with disabilities are welcome to participate, and are asked to provide advance notice of desired accommodations to the Meet Director. The athlete (or the athlete’s coach) is also responsible for notifying the session referee of any disability prior to the competition.
Rules: Current USA Swimming rules shall govern the meet.
All individual events will be governed by “No Faster Than” (NFT) time standards. These NFT time standards are equivalent to the individual event qualification time standards maintained at the PVS Junior Olympic Championships (March 1-4, 2007), and the PVS Senior Championships (March 8-11, 2007).
A swimmer can only enter individual events in which his/her official USA Swimming time is not faster than the posted NFT time standard. No time standards apply to 8&under swimmers, and they may enter any 8&under event.
A swimmer may not enter an event that they have entered at the PVS Senior Championships. A swimmer who has aged up since March 1, 2007 may not enter an event they were eligible to enter at PVS Junior Olympic Championships. A swimmer may also not enter an event if they were eligible to swim that event using a
non-conforming (LCM) time at either the PVS Junior Olympic Championships or the PVS Senior Short Course / Long Course Championships.
Swimmers may only participate in their own age group events.
Swimmers may enter a maximum of 6 individual events during the entire meet and no more than 3 individual events per day.
It may be necessary to limit entries in certain events due to time constraints.
Entries will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning Monday, March 12, 2007. Once each session’s intended duration is met, entries will no longer be accepted.
Dive-over starts will be used at both 11 & Over Preliminary sessions. Coaches are requested to review Guidance for Dive-Over Starts for Coaches. Officials are requested to review Protocol for Dive-Over Starts.
Coaches are expected to be in compliance with the USA Swimming Background Screening Program.
Individual Events:
All 10 & Under events are timed finals.
All 11 & Over events are trials and finals.
All 11 & Over finals will include a "Consolation" final heat and a "Championship" final heat. The "Championship" final heat swims first.
All 400 Individual Medley and 500 Freestyle events are timed finals and will swim during prelims only, EXCEPT for the fastest heat for each event, which will swim during evening finals.
Awards: Medals will be awarded for 1st through 8th place for individual events. Individual high point awards will be presented to the first place boy and girl in each age group.
Time Trials: No time trials will be held at this meet.
Positive Check-In
Positive check-in is required for all 400 Individual Medley and 500 Freestyle events.
PVS "Scratch" Policy:
If you do not wish to swim in the Final, you may "Scratch" from the event by following the proper procedure:
§ The coach/swimmer must fill out and sign a PVS Finals Scratch Slip within 30 minutes of the announcement of qualifiers for "A" finals or "B" finals, if scheduled.
§ The coach/swimmer may declare an intent to "scratch." The coach/swimmer must fill out and sign a PVS Finals Scratch Slip within 30 minutes of the announcement of qualifiers, marking the appropriate space for "intent." This intent to scratch must be confirmed on the PVS Finals Scratch Slip within 30 minutes after the conclusion of the swimmer’s last preliminary event of the day or he/she will be automatically scratched.
§ If a swimmer fails to properly scratch from an event and does not appear for the Final event, he/she "shall be barred from further competition for the remainder of the meet", unless excused by the Referee.
Scoring: Team scores will not be posted, however, individual scores (through 16th place) will be maintained and posted, with individual high-point awards presented at the conclusion of the meet.
All 8&under events will be scored within three age group divisions for each gender: 8-year-olds, 7-year-olds, and 6&unders.
Warm-Up: The prescribed Potomac Valley Swimming warm-up procedures and safety policies will be followed. The meet director may determine the structure of the warm-up, including times and lane assignments.
Supervision: NO FOOD OF ANY KIND IS ALLOWED ON THE POOL DECK.
Coaches are responsible for the conduct of their swimmers and families, as well as maintaining clean team areas. Only athletes, USA Swimming certified coaches, and deck officials are permitted on the pool deck. Coaches & deck officials are required to display their valid 2007 USA Swimming credentials. Parents not working the meet as a deck official, timer, or other meet position are not permitted on deck.
