Any club that enters an unregistered or improperly registered athlete, falsifies an entry in any way, or permits an unregistered coach, or a coach with expired or incomplete certifications to represent them, will be fined the sum of $100.00 and no further entries will be accepted from that club until the said fine has been paid.

Entry fees are due with meet entry. Unpaid fees will be reported to the PVS Administrative Office at the conclusion of the meet.

• Current USA Swimming rules shall govern the meet. A contestant may compete in a maximum of seven (7) individual events, and compete in no more than three (3) individual events per day.
• Contestants may NOT enter an event they are eligible to swim at either the PVS 2008 Senior LC Champs or PVS 2008 14/Under LC Champs.
• Note: A 15/O athlete is not eligible to swim an event at 14/U Champs because of their age.
• An athlete may not swim in an event at this meet if they have entered it as bonus event at PVS 2008 Senior LC Championship
• Any athlete who betters the "Not Faster Than" times for PVS Junior Champs after the submission of entries is precluded from competing in that event at this meet.

All entry times must be actually achieved LCM times that were swum after July 1, 2006. No "NO TIMES" are permitted nor are times converted to LCM. Times achieved prior to July 1, 2006 that would make an athlete ineligible by reason of being "too fast" do not apply, providing the athlete does not have another official time after this date that would make him ineligible.

Entry times for individual events shall have been achieved within two years prior to the meet entry deadline; however, the times need not be the best competitive times of the swimmers but can be any time they have swum equal to or slower than the event NFT qualifying time.  Swimmers entered in the 800/1000 and 1500/1650 freestyle do not need to enter with their best times, but may enter themselves at their fastest time or at the time standard.

No late entries are permitted for this meet.

No on-deck USA-S registration will be permitted.

Each participating club is requested to provide at least one table worker or official (referee, starter or stroke and turn judge) per session if entering 25 or more splashes.

All certified officials wishing to volunteer to work this meet please contact the Club Officials Chairman, Art Davis, 703-625-9288 or emerand@comcast.net prior to July 1. Please include your club affiliation, certifications held, and sessions you wish to work. Officials volunteering should sign in at the recording table prior to the start of Warm-ups. Certified officials who have not previously advised of their availability may volunteer their services to the Referee at this time.
