In conjunction with Leeds City Council the City of Leeds Diving Club is proud to invite you to the 19th White Rose Novice Diving Invitational.

The competition will be held at the John Charles Centre for Sport, Aquatics Centre in South Leeds. The pool is a state of the art facility boasting a full compliment of springboards and platforms with a fully equipped dryland training area.

The divers will perform 12 skills. These skills will be divided into 3 stations of 4 skills and assessed with 3 judges at each. The competitors will be divided across the 3 stations and rotated once each station has finished. Once the final result has been calculated the top 6 divers will progress to the final where 3 designated skills will be repeated.

Awards will be given to the top 6 finalists, Top Coach and the Top Team will receive the White Rose trophy.

As usual, look out for the extra entertainment whilst here in Leeds. There will be a short diving show before each final session which will feature some of the top divers in the country including 2014 Medallist’s , Chris Mears, Rebecca Gallantree, Alicia Blagg and James Denny.

On behalf of the organising team, the City of Leeds Diving Club and Leeds City Council, we look forward to welcoming you again to what has become one of the best attended skills competitions in the UK!!!

Yours in Diving

DIVE SHEETS Dive Sheets must be submitted prior to your arrival. Close of play for dive sheets is: 14th October We are using DiveRecorder, the electronic scoring system developed by Malcolm Taylor from . Those of you who were at ASA events this year will have seen it in action in Leeds, Southend and Sheffield.

One advantage of Dive Recorder is that we can accept dive sheets electronically and input them directly to the scoring system. This is simple and easy to do online or off-line and you can then e-mail the file to [email protected] .

Step 1: Go on line, visit DiveRecorder downloads at http://www.diverecorder.co.uk , download the DiveSheets program and follow the instructions for installing on your PC. If you have already downloaded DiveSheets (for ASA competitions) go to Step 2.

Step 2: Staying on line, open the DiveSheets program. To download the Meet Configuration file (.mcf), Click on New Meet, double click on White Rose 2014 in the list to load it into DiveSheets (see on line instructions) Step 3: complete all the dive sheets for your divers on or off-line. Enter all your divers, fill in their dive sheets in Entries, print off a report that gives details of all your divers and their dives (this is your prompt copy for the event).

Step 4: When you're happy you have all the information on divers/dive sheets entered and saved, printed your report, go back on line, click on submit in DiveSheets. Fill in all the appropriate boxes, follow the on line instructions. An e-mail is created that will send the .mcf file to Ann to upload to the Scoring program. If you use AOL you might need to attach the file from the DiveSheets folder. There are instructions in DiveSheets which give details of the naming convention for the .ent file (you can view this file in Notepad or Wordpad if you need to).

If you have any problems you can e-mail [email protected] and I will send the .mcf file for you to attach to DiveSheets or help with more instructions. Copy of the Meet Configuration file to download:

Close of play for dive sheets is 14th October, before this would be much better. We will, of course, operate a policy of allowing changes to dive sheets up to 1 hour before the start of the day's competitions i.e. last change time on Saturday 9.00 am, Sunday 8.00 am.
