2001-2002 SCY and 2002 LCM Top Ten Information

TOP TEN BANQUET: All Top Ten Swimmers for both Long Course and Short Course are invited to attend the Top Ten Banquet at Lenzi’s (formerly The Mill House) 810 Merrimack Avenue (Route 110), Dracut, MA on Sunday, October 27,2002. The cost is $15 per person. Those swimmers who are listed as OUTSTANDING SWIMMERS for either long or short course and members of the Top Ten Committee are invited to be the guests of New England Swimming. All who plan to attend, INCLUDING OUTSTANDING SWIMMERS, must make reservations by Friday, October 18, 2002. The doors will open at 10 am, and the meal will be served at 11 am, followed by the awards and the speaker.

TOP TEN TIMES: Top Ten Times are compiled using results from New England calendar meets during the past year. Short course (25 yard) times run from June 1, 2001 through May 31, 2002; long course (50 meter) times run from October 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002. In addition to the New England sanctioned calendar meets, we also use times from out of district sanctioned meets if the results are sent to the office and if the meet is open to all USA Swimmers. We consider all times from the meet--trials, finals, and swim-offs--except time trials. We also consider lead-off splits from individual events and relays when they are printed in the results. We do not include meets that are closed--restricted to certain teams, league members, etc. For this reason, we do not consider high school meets, "Y" meets, etc.

OUTSTANDING SWIMMERS are those who have accumulated the most points through their top ten standings. The scoring is as follows--12 points for first place, 9 points for second place, 8 points for third place, down to 1 point for tenth place.

TOP TEN BOOKS will be sent to all New England teams as soon as they are ready. Books will be available for purchase at the banquet for $2.50 for each season or by mail for $3.00 each, including postage.
