Qualifying
Period: The qualifying time must have been achieved on or since January 1, 2009.
Age Group: A swimmer’s age on March 12, 2010, will determine his/her eligibility for a particular age group for the entire meet. You must swim your own age group.
Format: (1) All Michigan Swimming LSC individual events in the specified age groups are offered in this three day meet. (2) All individual events are prelim – final events with two selected timed finals exceptions (500 Free and the 400 IM) with the preliminaries swum in the morning and the finals at night. (3) All relays are timed finals. The fastest seeded heats of the relay events will be swum during the finals sessions in the evening as stated in the schedule of events.
Finals Info: Individual Events: (1) There will be two heats of individual finals in both the 10 and under and 11/12 Divisions – each heat is comprised of a maximum of eight (8) swimmers. These will be referred to as “A, B” Finals or “Championship Finals and Consolation Finals”. These will swim in a B-Consolation, A-Championship Finals order. (2) The top 8 seeded swimmers (one heat) after scratches (if any) of the 10 and Under and 11/12 500 Free automatically swim in Finals. Also, the top 8 seeded swimmers (one heat) after scratches (if any) of the 11/12 400 IM automatically swim in Finals.
Relay Events: The top seeded heat of all relays (top eight) will swim in the Finals in the evening. The remainder of the relays will swim in the prelims.
Entry Limits: A swimmer may enter any number of individual events in which the qualifying time standard has been met. However, a swimmer may swim no more than three individual events per day. Also, a swimmer may swim no more than 6 individual events for the entire three day meet. If a swimmer is entered in more than three individual events per day, he/she must scratch out of the desired excess event(s) by using a scratch card dropped in the scratch box by the stated time. Failure to properly scratch excess events will result in an automatic scratch of all events that exceed the event per day limit.
Fees: $5.00 per individual event and a $3.00 Michigan Swimming Athlete Surcharge for each swimmer entered.
NEW CUTS ONLY: There is an entry extension deadline for “new cuts” achieved at meets that occur between March 2 and March 8. This extension is primarily directed toward “new cuts” achieved at the March 5-7, 2010 Junior Olympic Meets. However, qualifying times achieved at any approved meet during this extension are eligible to be entered into the State Meet using the “new cut” extension. A “New Cut” means exactly that – a qualifying time achieved for the very first time during the stated time period. This is not a mechanism for changing a previously entered seed time nor adding entries that should have been included in your pre-March 2nd entry.
Refunds: There are no refunds in full or in part once a team or individual entry has been received and processed by the Entry Chair.
Scratch
Rules/
Individual
Events:
(1) All individual events will conform to the USA National Scratch Procedure. With these rules in effect you are no longer required to “check in” for any individual events – you are already “checked in” by virtue of your entry and thus expected to swim the event. If you are entered in an event you must swim the event or, if desired, scratch the event correctly in order to not be penalized. To scratch a preliminary or timed final event you must drop a scratch card in a scratch box by the time stated. To scratch from a Finals event (that you have qualified for) you must scratch or declare your intention to scratch within 30 minutes after the qualifiers are announced pursuant to 207.7.9 (E) (2). If you fail to scratch out of any individual event correctly and fail to compete in the event- you will be penalized.
(2) Once a scratch card is dropped in the scratch box the swimmer is declared scratched from the event. Only Coaches and swimmers may use a scratch card to scratch an event.
(3) A separate scratch card must be used to scratch each individual event a swimmer desires to scratch. Exception: A Coach may use a single scratch card to scratch a swimmer from all events the swimmer is entered in (remove the swimmer from the entire meet).
Penalties for
Failure to
Compete
(1) Preliminary Events: If you fail to drop your scratch card by the time stated for the event and fail to compete, the swimmer will be barred from all further preliminary individual and relay events of that day. Additionally, the swimmer will not be seeded in any further individual events on succeeding days unless that swimmer declares intent to swim prior to the close of the scratch box for that day’s event. (See Meet Referee or his/her designee).
(2) Finals: If you qualify for finals as a result of your preliminary swim and fail to properly scratch or properly declare your intention to scratch pursuant to the rule within 30 minutes after the final qualifiers are announced and fail to compete in the finals at night, you will be barred from further competition for the remainder of the meet. NOTE: If you declare that you may want to scratch an event but do not return to confirm that scratch within 30 minutes following the conclusion of your last event, you will be seeded into the Finals event and will be similarly penalized if you do not compete in Finals. (See Meet Referee or his/her designee)
(3) 500 Free and 400 IM Timed Final events: If (A) as a result of automatic Finals qualification/top 8 seeding and failing to properly scratch and failing to compete in the evening Finals, the swimmer will be barred from swimming any events for the remainder of the meet, or (B) as a result of being seeded in the heats that swim during the morning sessions and fail to compete, the swimmer will be barred from swimming any further preliminary individual or relay events of that day. Additionally, the swimmer will not be seeded in any further individual events on succeeding days unless that swimmer declares intent to swim prior to the close of the scratch box for that day’s event. (See Meet Referee or his/her designee).

B. Finals: To scratch from swimming in Finals for an event you have qualified for, the swimmer must see the Meet Referee or his/her designee within 30 minutes after the qualifiers are announced and declare your actual scratch or intention to scratch if the swimmer doesn’t intend to swim the event in Finals.
Additional
$50 Penalty: In addition to the procedures and penalties stated above, if a swimmer participates in any event in this meet and then fails to compete in his/her last scheduled individual event of the meet without having properly scratched that event, he/she shall be fined $50 payable immediately to MS. The swimmer is not allowed to compete in any subsequent MS sanctioned events until the fine is paid.
Seeding: Individual Events:
(1) Individual events will be swum in preliminary/final format except for the 10 & Under and 11/12 500 Free and the 11/12 400 IM which will be swum in a Timed Finals format.
(2) These two Timed Final events (10 and Under and 11/12 500 Free and 11/12 400 IM) will be seeded after the scratch box closes for the event. The fastest seeded heat (top 8) after scratches (if any) of these events will swim during the finals sessions on Friday night (500 Free) and during the Finals on Sunday night (400 IM). The remaining heats of these two timed finals events will swim in the morning sessions. The heats of the 400 IM swum in the morning sessions will be seeded slowest to fastest and will not alternate gender. The heats of the 500 Free swum in the morning sessions will be seeded fastest to slowest and will alternate genders (Girls then Boys). Swimmers should consult the heat sheets carefully for their heat and lane. Awards and scoring/place for these two timed finals events are determined by all the athletes’ performances in all the heats (i.e. times achieved in the preliminary heats are used to determine the top 16 finishers even though the time was not achieved in the Finals.)
(3) The final three heats of all other prelim/final events will be circle seeded slowest to fastest.
Marshaling: This is a self-marshaled meet. All swimmers will be expected to find their heat and lane independently. Heats will not be delayed. Heat cards will not be used. Heat sheets will be posted in conspicuous places on deck and distributed to coaches as soon as possible.
Awards: Michigan Swimming, Inc. provides medals for 1st – 8th place finishers in both individual and relay events and ribbons for 9th – 16th in all individual events. JBL Engraving will be on site to engrave individual and relay medals (medal engraving will also be available for any awards received from prior events, i.e. Districts and J.O.s). There are individual high point awards for 1st – 3rd place finishers in each age group. There is an overall Team State Champion and runner-up trophy.
Award
Presentation There will be a formal awards presentation in each session as described in the meet program. It is expected that athletes will appear on time for awards so as not to delay the meet. TCS Photography will be photographing all finals sessions and podium shots.
