<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">To All<br>
<br>
I have an update concerning the Vacaville High School Alumni meet. We
have decided to cap the total number of swimmers to 100. This we
believe will make for a much better day for all concerned. We would
like everyone to please get their entries sent in to me as soon as
possible to seed the races accurately.<br>
<br>
Again I would like to say this meet is intended as a fund raiser for
the high school, our first year we plan to start small and hope to
grow in the coming years.<br>
<br>
A little about our facility, it is a 6 lane 25 yard 4.5 foot deep
pool. The pool surface has been redone and is exceptionally well cared
for. There is not a lot of room on deck for easy-up set up but there
is a large parking lot adjacent to the pool. We also hope to have some
local vendors for athletes to take advantage of. There will be a
hospitality area for athletes participating with some complimentary
item such as water, gator aid, sandwiches, coffee etc. We will also
have a snack bar with other item at a nominal charge. Would it be
possible to let your swimmers know? I again have attached a flier with
all the information.<br>
<br>
Lastly we plan on having heats in all events for both women and men
and will award 8 deep for each event.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your time,<br>
Marvin Shockey</font></blockquote>

<div>SITUATIONS - ALL USA - SWIMMING</div>
<div>During the preliminary heats of the 200 yard butterfly, three
swimmers tied for eight place. We would have to have a swim-off
to see who would qualify for eighth place for finals later that
evening. All three coaches met with the Deck Referee to
determine when would be the appropriate time to hold this swim-off.
It was determined that the swim-off would be held before the relays
and after the last individual heat for the morning. This
particular meet has both a heat of an A (championship) finals and a B
(consolation) finals.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Situation 1: All swimmers are disqualified in the
swim-off.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Situation 2: Two swimmers are disqualified in the
swim-off, while one swimmer is faster than the fastest seed for
finals.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Situation 3: Only one swimmer is disqualified, but
the other two swimmers tie again.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Situation 4: If the Timing Judge looked at the times
in thousandths of a second, one of the swimmers has a faster time.
In order to eliminate the swimmers from swimming the 200 butterfly an
extra time, the Deck Referee decides to use this time in order
to not have a swim-off. Was this the correct procedure for the
Deck Referee to follow?</div>
<div> </div>
<div><br>
Have a good week<br>

<div>==================</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>#1 Possible Solution: There will have to be
another swim-off to determine the eighth place swimmer. The time
of the swim-off will be determined by the coaches and Deck Referee.
The rule book states in 102.5.2, "If disqualifications leave a
vacancy for the full complement of finalists, swim-offs shall be
continued among the disqualified swimmers until a full complement of
finalists is assured."</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>#2 Possible Solution: The one swimmer that swam
faster than the fastest seeded swimmer for finals will swim as the
eighth seeded swimmer for finals. The two swimmers who were
disqualified in the swim-off will swim in the consolation heat and
their seeding will be determined by a draw. 102.5.2 states, in
part, " A swim-off is considered to be part of the total
preliminary process of qualifying for the finals." "... The
official time for the swimmers involved shall be the time set in the
original preliminary heat." 102.5.3 states, " In finals, the
times to be considered are those times made in preliminary heats.
If any qualifying swimmers have the same time their respective lanes
shall be determined by draw."</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>#3 Possible Solution: There
will be another swim-off for the tied swimmers to determine the eight
place swimmer. The one disqualified swimmer will be the tenth
seeded swimmer in this event. 102.5.2 states, "...In the case
of a disqualification in a swim-off the swimmer so disqualified is
relegated to the lowest qualifying position for which he/she is
competing. Disqualification in a swim-off for a qualifying
position in the A (championship) finals shall not eliminate a swimmer
from eligibility to compete in the accompanying B (consolation)
finals. If disqualifications leave a vacancy for the full
complement of finalists, swim-offs shall be continued among the
disqualified swimmers until a full complement of finalists is
assured."</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>#4 Possible Solution: No, this isn't
the correct procedure. 102.16.4B states, "Timing Resolution -
All timing systems, including manual watches, shall have a resolution
of one one-hundredth of a second (0.01 second). Times from all
systems shall be recorded to hundredths of a second. The digits
representing thousandths shall be dropped with no rounding."
The swim-off process will have to be continued until a full complement
of finalists are assured.</div>
