2019 MICSA SCORING SUMMARY

The number of swimmers entered determines the number of heats in each preliminary event. The rules specify that there should be a minimum of 3 swimmers in a heat. The last three heats consist of the top 18 swimmers entered in the event. The last three heats are then “circle seeded”, with the fastest swimmers in the inside lanes. Fastest to slowest in each of the last 3 heats would be in lanes 3-4-2-5-1-6 respectively. The top 12 qualifiers compete on Sunday in the Finals and are eligible to score points for their respective clubs. Qualifiers 7-12 compete in the consolation finals and qualifiers 1-6 compete in the championship finals. Note: No swimmer can place any higher or lower than their group of 6 at finals, regardless of how fast or slow their time is during the Finals on Sunday. For example the 6th fastest qualifier in the championship heat cannot finish lower than the 6th place. Qualifiers 13 and14 are listed as alternates in the event that one or more qualifiers are unable to compete on Sunday at the Finals. Finals events on Sunday will run in Event # sequence from 1- 64. This is the same order as the Dual meet events. SCORING FOR FINALS EVENTS

The 2018-2019 National Federation of State High School Association Rules will govern the 2019 MICSA Finals. Any exceptions to these rules are listed in the MICSA by-laws.

2019 MICSA FINALS ROSTER OF OFFICIALS Officials: Bob Juhasz Pete Olson Ray Martin Dan Aten Cynda Avery

Coaches Liason: Bob Crosby

Rules: The 2017 – 2018 National Federation of State High School Association Rules will govern the 2019 MICSA Finals. Any exceptions to these rules are listed in the MICSA by-laws.

2019 MICSA FINALS OFFICIAL GUIDELINES 1. Current NFHS Rules apply with the following expectations: • Backstroke Flags are local pool locations.

• Jewelry is acceptable unless deemed dangerous.

• Logo rule is waived.

• Swimmers will not be eligible to set individual records for any swim on the lead leg of any 100 relay event.

• The no recall false start rule is waived – a recall rope will be positioned 20 meters from the start end.

2. Cones on each side of the pool will identify the 15-meter mark from both ends of the pool.

3. Towels are allowed on the blocks but must not hang over the front edge. Timers will be asked to remove the towel immediately after start of the race.

4. In every heat each swimmer is allowed one false start! This means there is a potential of six false starts before disqualification.

5. The starting device will be the only device used to recall. No guns will be allowed or used.

6. Make sure all swimmers are set at the start! Some may come down before moving into track start position or leaning back.

7. Coaches contact with swimmers: • One coach from each team will be allowed by the starting block and turn end of the pool during the 8 & under relays. The coach may not make physical contact with the swimmer.

• During all other events, no coach is allowed by any starting block. Coaches will be advised on Friday where they can stand during the meet.

• During individual events, one coach from each team is allowed to talk to their swimmer(s) while they are in marshalling just prior to approaching the starting block for an event.

8. Any coach, participant or guest who displays conduct unbecoming to the spirit of MICSA will be immediately removed from the pool area and asked to leave the club grounds for the remainder of the meet.

9. A meet committee will be established on Friday to resolve disputes relating to swimming matters during the finals.

10. Non-verbal dual confirmation will be required on false start and relay exchange false starts. Write down lane number and, for relays, swimmer number on event sheet and meet in middle to confer.

11. Dual confirmation is not required on stroke or turn violations. Record all disqualifications on ‘disqualification sheet’ provided and be sure it gets to the scoring table. Two-way radios will be used for official’s communication during the meet! Make every effort to advise swimmer or coach of disqualification!

12. The officials along Lane 1 will be responsible for calling all finishes for all events. The turn judge along Lane 1 will call finishes for the 25 meter events.

13. One touchpad, three semiautomatic buttons and 2 manual dolphin watches will be used for timing finishes.

14. Note for Marshalling: Keep next swimmer away from starting block until a race has been finished and the prior swimmer has left the starting area! During relays, swimmers must stay back from the block area until it is their turn to swim. After a relay member has finished, they should step back away from the block area until the race is done.
