Representatives Meeting
Minutes of
Call to Order: Marty Cohen called the meeting to order at
Long Course: Information concerning Long Course is posted on the web. Please pay special attention to the parking information. Reps can pick up their team’s t-shirts at the awards table. There will be no clerk of course at this meet.
Disqualifications: We have received a number of protests this season dealing with DQ’s that were not brought to the coaches’ attention during the meet. Please remind your referees that they should tell the coach at the end of the event when a swimmer has been DQ’d.
Automation: Bob Hincke will post preliminary psyche sheets for All Star Relays after relay carnival results come in. Please notify him immediately if your team will need to scratch. (One rep suggested that if you have a swimmer or team scratch at the last minute, it is very nice to contact the alternates to let them know that they may well be swimming.) In your dual meets, be sure you correct the relay scoring in the meet manager programs for events 49 and 50 before you run the program.
All Star Officials: It is time for the team in each division
responsible for locating officials for the All Star meets to begin sending to competition@mcsl.org the names of people
in your division who can work these meets.
Please include the name, pool, phone number, email address, and which
meet—Individuals or Relays—the person can work.
Awards: Please contact Tracey Glass, awards@mcsl.org, if you need personal best, finisher, or B meet ribbons.
Records: Since we have two new events this year—the
175m freestyle relays—there will be new league records. There is no special form to fill out;
however, there is a definite procedure to follow. If you have a league record achieved at your
pool, you should have all three timers on the lane, as well as the head timer
and the referee, sign the lane/timer sheet.
The original of this sheet should then be sent to Mary Parker, the
league records chairperson.
B Meets: Bill Bullough urged “A” reps to get involved in the “B” program if the “B” meets are running late. “B” meets neet to be run efficiently with some experienced officials, good head timers, and a chief judge. Coaches should not put any swimmer in any meet who has not demonstrated in practice that he or she is fundamentally legal in the stroke to be swum.
Next Meeting: There is no meeting in August. The next meeting will be held at the
