ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Entries on computer disk are appreciated Hy-Tek program (.cl2 file).  If submitting entries on a disk or by email, please also send a paper printout of the entry with the check.  If using email, the check and a paper copy must arrive within four business days of the email arrival.  Total entries for the meet are limited; therefore the meet will be cut by date of receipt.

 

No swimmer may enter more than 5 individual events per day.  11/12 year olds are eligible for the open events, in particular the 200’s of strokes and the 200 IM.  Swimmers may swim in one medley relay and one free relay.  Although we hope to accommodate everyone, if specific sessions are oversubscribed and we are exceeding our time line we will limit the number of heats of longer events.  If the Friday night events need to be cut, individual swimmers will be determined by lottery.  A waiting list will be maintained to pull in additional swimmers if other swimmers scratch before the session.

 

Entries must be received between Friday November 1st. and Friday, December 6th.  Any entries received before Nov. 1st.  will be considered to have arrived on the 1st.  If the meet is oversubscribed, a team lottery will be used to determine which teams will participate in the meet.  The lottery will be between those teams submitting entries on the date that filled the meet.  Email entries will be accepted.  Fees must arrive within four business days after the email is sent.  United States Postal Service Overnight Mail is the preferred mailing method.  If Overnight Mail is used, indicate that the package be delivered even if no one is there to sign for it.  If using email, consider zipping the file.  No fax entries will be accepted.  Times achieved in a 25 meter pool must be multiplied by .9049 to convert to yards.

 

FEES

$3.50 per individual entry and $10.00 per relay. ($4.00 per individual hand written entry)

Only one check per team will be accepted, payable to PVAC.
