Changes to the dive list may be submitted prior to the preliminary or final rounds of diving. All entered times must be the entrant’s 2019-2020 best times as listed in SWIMS database and must have been achieved in a bona fide competition per NCAA rules. Times from USA-Swimming competitions can be used only if the meets are listed on a team’s schedule, the student-athletes were representing. If a time is missing from the data base please contact Jaime Lewis to see about getting the time added. Any swimmer competing in an event not swum during the 2019-2020 season must enter NT or No Time. The 1650 will be seeded by the swimmer’s best 1650 time for the season (not the 1000)! Entry times for the A (scoring) relays are the faster of actual relay times achieved at a meet during the qualifying period, or an aggregate time using times achieved during the qualifying period. See the NCAA Swimming & Diving Rules & Interpretation Manual, Section 7, Article 1 for specifics on relay entry times and aggregate times. If an aggregate time is used, the names of the swimmers used to generate the aggregate time do not have to be provided as part of the time submission. Psych sheets will show seeding for each event prior to the Championships. Psych sheets will be e-mailed by the Administrative Referee three days prior to the first day of competition to each member institution's head coach; the psych sheets will also be posted to the MPSF web site three days prior to the first day of competition. Coaches should review the psych sheets immediately and report any errors or discrepancies to the Administrative Referee within two days following distribution. 3 2020 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Swimming and Diving Championships Heat sheets will be available for all coaches as soon as possible after every morning and evening session for the following session.

Exhibition or unofficial swimmers will not be permitted to swim in the bonus heat, consolation or final heat under any circumstances. New for 2020...exhibition swimmers shall be seeded into preliminary rounds based on entry times. Each team can have 1 scoring or “A” relay per event. If more than 8 "A" teams are entered there will be two heats with the faster seeded teams in the last heat.
