Before giving this information to your team members, every coach participating in this competition must register at www.divemeets.com . You will receive an email with your ID and password. For “organization” choose NCAA or NAIA.

You will not be able to register if you do not follow this process; if you have registered in the past, you do not have to register again. 2. After you register, you can tell your divers to go www.divemeets.com to sign up and then register for the PCSC Championships. They also will receive an email with their ID and password. If a diver has already registered in the past they don’t have to register again, but they must update their account to reflect they belong to the NCAA or NAIA and choose their respective team. If they forgot the ID and Password, they can click on Login, and Forgot your password or DiveMeets ID. 3. Divers will be prompted to the meet information where they will be able to click on the events they are registering for and fill out dive sheets for each event. The program will make sure each dive sheet will be sent correctly. Coaches or divers can make changes to a dive sheet any time after registered and up to when the meet registration closes online. Just log in and click on View/Edit Dive Sheets under the meet title. Note: If coaches decide to register their divers for the meet, they will be able to do that after the divers have signed-up with www.divesmeets.com and have a divemeets ID. Then, a coach logs in and can click on the PCSC Championships link. Find the drop-down box with the divers of your team. You will choose the diver you want to register for the meet, fill out the dive sheet and follow the prompts. You will have to do this process for every diver. For help, email [email protected] Page | 5 Participants Each team shall be allowed to travel with an unlimited number of athletes. Official competitors (Scoring Participants) must be declared before the first event, and are limited to 18 based on NCAA calculations. Swimmers shall count as one and divers shall count as 1/3 of a competitor. Number of Events: Swimmers may officially score in seven (7) events, of which no more than three (3) may be individual events. Exhibition Swimmers: Teams may enter more participants than the NCAA 18 contestant limit. Additional (beyond 18) swimmers/divers shall be “Exhibition” swimmers/divers, and their events will be considered “Unofficial”. Exhibition swimmers/divers may not be able to score points Declaration of Scoring Participants/Exhibition Swimmers: Declaration of the 18 scoring participants must be made in writing to Administrative Referee before the meet begins on Wednesday. Squads with 18 or fewer athletes will be assumed to be designating all their athletes as Scoring Participants. Unofficial Swims for Official Scoring Participants: Official Scoring Participants may NOT swim/dive additional “Unofficial” events beyond their allotted three individual events. Scoring Participants may oversubscribe by an unlimited number of events. They must scratch or declare an event to be an Exhibition Swim by the scratch deadline (the completion of competition on the previous night). If an entered event is not declared to be an Unofficial Swim prior to the scratch deadline, it must be swum as one of the competitor’s official (scoring) events. Once a competitor has competed in his/her 3 official (scoring) events, all remaining oversubscribed events would by necessity become Exhibition Swims. Please note the distinction between “Exhibition swims/swimmers” and “unofficial swims/swimmers.” Entries & Scoring All entered times must be officially swum per NCAA guidelines, including relays. 1. Exception for Exhibition Swimmers and Unofficial Swims in Finals: Exhibition Swimmers may participate in the preliminaries but may only advance to final heats IF there are not enough scoring swimmers to fill the final heats. The same rule applies to Unofficial Swims. If the scenario of unfilled finals heats occurs, the Exhibition swimmers/Unofficial swims may be seeded into any unused spots in the final heats, chosen by the fastest times from preliminaries. Under no circumstances will an Exhibition swimmer or Unofficial swim displace a scoring swimmer in the seeding of the final heats. Exhibition Swimmers and Unofficial Swims MAY be seeded into any finals heat that is not filled by scoring participants. They will not be able Page | 6 to displace any scoring swimmer in the placing/scoring in that final heat.
