MEET FORMAT: The meet will be conducted in a trials/finals format. In the evening

there will be 3 heats: a bonus, consolation and a final heat in that order in all events,

except the two distance events and the relays. The top heat of the woman’s and men’s

1650 free will be swum at finals, as well as the relays. The Meet Director reserves the

right to run some slower heats of the relays in the prelim session, if the number of entries

creates too long of a finals session. This will be determined after the entry deadline.

There will be no 2 per lane competition.

SITE: Boston University’s Fitness and Recreation Center includes a 10-lane by 16-lane

competition pool with the ability to change from meters to yards using a movable

bulkhead. The depth slopes from 7 feet to 13.5 feet. The course will be set in short course

(25) yards, thus allowing 10 lanes with non-turbulent lane lines for competition and an

additional five to six lanes for continuous warm up in the diving end of the pool. The

facility is equipped with a Daktronics Timing System, touch pads, and a ten lane

electronic scoreboard. Spectator seating is available for approximately 400 spectators.

Directions to the Aquatics Center and parking instructions may be found later in this

notice. The competition course has not been certified in accordance with 104.2.2C(4).

COURSE: Short course yards (25 yards).

CUT PROTOCOL: If a session is over-subscribed, the following changes will take place

in the meet format:

Every effort will be made to work with non-LSC teams to reduce entries and accept and

accommodate qualifying swimmers. Bonus swims of non-LSC will be cut first.

If necessary, there will be a lottery of those non-LSC teams in accordance with the usual

practices of New England Swimming. Out of LSC teams that are cut from the meet will

have their entry fee returned.

Relays will be moved to the preliminary sessions.

Clubs will be notified of changes by Friday, December 7, 2012.

SWIMS Database-Proof of Time

Times from the USA Swimming Sanctioned, Approved, and Observed competitions will

be in SWIMS, the national times database. Times in the database are not automatic

entries to the meet but must meet qualifying time standards. All individual entry times

must be made prior to the entry deadline and must be proven prior to the scratch deadline

for that event through the SWIMS database.

Do not ask to change entry times or events after the entry deadline. No deck entries will

be accepted.

RELAYS: Up to two (2) relay entries per team can be entered. The Meet Director reserves the right

to limit teams to one (1) relay entry for the 800 Free Relay after entries are received.

200 Free Relays must be entered with 400 Free Relay times. If they aren’t, they will be

changed to your team’s 400 relay equivalent.

Relay teams must have achieved the qualifying time. If a team has a qualifying relay then

it may use any swimmer entered into the meet, including relay-only swimmers, on the

relay. If a team uses aggregate times to qualify a relay, then only those swimmers used to

qualify the relay may swim on the relay team. Teams are subject to a $100 fine, per

swimmer, if a non-aggregate swimmer is used to fill a relay entered with aggregate times.

All relays will be swum as timed finals. The top 2 heats of women’s relays followed by

the top 2 heats of men’s relays will swim slowest to fastest. All other relays will then

swim fastest to slowest alternating men and women. The Meet Director reserves the right

to run some heats of relays during the prelim session if the timeline, after entries are

received, indicates it would be beneficial.

Relays must be positively checked-in by the end of the prelims session, the day of the

event, and the relay cards must be turned in by 7:00 PM to the clerk of course. Relay

name or order changes may be done at the clerk of course table until the event is called.

There will be a 10 minute break between events and relays.

TIME TRIALS: Time trials will be available at the discretion of the Meet Director and

the Meet Referee and if time allows, after the Trials sessions on Friday, Saturday, and

Sunday. All time trial swimmers must provide two timers for their swims. Time trials are

$10 for individual events and $40 for relays. Swimmers cannot swim more than 3

individual events per day, including time trials.

Sign-up for time trials is at the Clerk of Course table. Time trials are open to any

swimmer registered with USA Swimming.

Time Trial swimmers not already entered in the meet must notify the entry chair by

Tuesday, December 11th, of their intent to do a time trial and provide their USA

Swimming registration information. Time Trial swimmers not already entered in the meet

also must pay the swimmer participation fee of $10 in addition to the time trial fee of $10

per event. These fees can be paid at the Clerk of Course table on the day of the time trial.

DISTANCE EVENTS: The 1000 Free and 1650 Free are timed finals. Both events will

be swum fastest to slowest, alternating heats of women and men. The fastest heat of

women and men in the 1650 Free will be swum at the beginning of the finals on Sunday.

All of the other heats will be conducted during prelims. All distance swimmers must

provide at least 2 timers with watches and 1 counter for their swims.

The 500 Free and the 400 IM may be seeded in an A and B flight format. If flighted,

there will be 5 heats in each A flight. It will be swum slowest to fastest with the women’s

event first, followed by the men’s event. The B flight will be swum fastest to slowest,

alternating heats of women and men.

All swimmers in these two events must provide at least 2 timers. Both of these events

will follow the scratch rules below. The 500 Free and 400 IM will NOT be positive

PARKING: There is ample parking available in the Agganis Arena garage that is

adjacent to the Fitness and Recreation center. As Boston University is an urban campus

with many competing events, parking is limited. Metered on-street parking is discouraged

as there are few of these spaces and they are frequently monitored and ticketed. Click

here for Aquatic Center Parking Map that gives directions and illustrates how to access

the Agganis Arena garage. The rate for each day is $1.00 per hour with a maximum of

$8.00 for the day; however, if there are conflicting events on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday

evenings at the Agganis Arena, all cars must leave the garage by 5:00 PM or they will be

required to pay the $25.00 event parking rate. At this time, no events are planned for that

weekend, but Boston University reserves the right to modify its parking terms and will

make every effort to provide sufficient notification.

If your team will be traveling by chartered bus, due to City of Boston regulations, buses

are not permitted to double park or idle on City streets. Bus parking is $40 per day and,

due to limited space availability, must be pre-approved. You must inform the Entry

Chairperson and Meet Manager of your team’s need for bus parking prior to arrival in

order for us to inform you of the oversized vehicle requirements in and around the Boston

University campus.
