FACILITY:
White Brook Middle School, 200 Park St., Easthampton, MA has a six lane,
25 yard pool with non-turbulent lane lines and electronic timing. Seating is limited (approx. 300), therefore
swimmers are asked to remain in the bullpen (gym) area. All events will be announced from the
bullpen.
ELIGIBILITY: All
swimmers must be 2003 registered swimmers with New England Swimming. Swimmers may register with the New England
Swimming Office, 20 Cleveland Road, Needham, MA 02492. Age eligibility is determined by the age of the swimmer on
Feb. 7, 2003. All coaches on the deck must be registered with US Swimming and
display their coach membership cards.
ENTRY INFORMATION: No
swimmer may enter more than five individual events per day.
Entries must be
received by Monday, January 27,
2003. Entries earlier than that
will be greatly appreciated. Electronic
entries, whether by email or on computer disk are appreciated and are less
expensive (according to NES policy).
Please submit an .sd3 file (LSA Team) or .cl2 (Hy-Tek Team Manager)
file. Seed cards are not required.
Email Entries: Attach the .cl2 or .sd3 file to the email
message. A zipped version of the entry
tends to work better than just attaching the regular entry file. If sending entries via email, the entry fees
and a paper copy of the entry, along with the entry cover sheet must be
received by Friday, January 31, 2003.
Other Entries: United States Postal Service Overnight Mail
is the preferred paper mailing method.
If Overnight Mail is used, indicate that the package be delivered even
if no one is there to sign for it. No fax
entries will be accepted. All fees must
accompany the entry.
ENTRY
TIMES AND VERIFICATION: All
swimmers must enter with their best times achieved from September 1, 2002
through January 28, 2003. The meet will be strictly monitored to prevent any
swimmer from entering the meet with incorrect times. Any swimmer proven to be
ineligible for an event due to “too fast time” will be barred from the rest of
the meet. If several swimmers from one team are found to have false times
entered, that team will be reported to the Board of Review for further action
and may jeopardize their participation in future New England championships
meets. No “no times” will be accepted.
Times achieved in a 25 meter pool must be
multiplied by .9049 to convert to yards.
FEES: $3.50
per individual event (electronic)
$4.00
per individual event (hand)

Free events must provide counters and timers for each of their swimmers.
FORMAT: All events will be timed finals. The meet will be run with a bullpen. Swimmers may scratch an event by not showing
up at the bullpen. However, to

will be allowed to swim in that event.
Under no circumstances will an event be re-seeded due to late arrivals
to the bullpen.

in the event that the meet is oversubscribed.
