Any amendments to this document
for any meet must be approved by the SSC board.
With a goal of running
smoother, more pleasant and efficient meets we
offer the following recommendations:
Recommendation:
that the club move to a policy of announcing DQ’s during the
meets by event # and lane #.
Recommendation:
that the club move to a policy of posting meet results during the
meets, at the end of each stroke competition. It will
be helpful, as if there are any inconsistencies that the
‘Timing Shed’ team did not catch, they will soon be
pointed out, and can be amended before the end of the
meet.
Recommendation: the Chief Recorder gets the
session referee to sign off on the results at the end of each
session.
Recommendation: combining of events be kept
to a minimum during meets, except for longer (200m + over events)
events.
Recommendation: all officials be reminded and
encouraged to use their best manners during meets, with each other
and the swimmers.
Recommendation:
the entire board get better acquainted with meet software.
Goal : To lessen
the air of ‘over officiating’ that has been prevalent
on the pool deck. Unfortunately a case of ‘perception is
reality’.
