Positive Check-in:  All Swimmers must check-in by 9:30 am each day at the registration table or you will be scratched from that day’s events.  In order to reduce the number of open lanes and thus reduce the length of the meet, all swimmers are required to positively check-in at the registration table.

Relays:  Relay entries will be accepted up until 20 minutes prior to the respective relay.  All relay teams must either e-mail their information to david.bergquist@minnesotamasters.com by 11:59 pm on Wednesday, April 1st or submit a relay entry card at the Meet complete with first and last name, age and gender of each swimmer.  Each card or e-mail must include the club/workout group name.  For the relay to be official, none of the four members may be “unattached,” or One-Event swimmers.  All relay members must be registered with the same club but may be from different workout groups.  The distance and type of relay must be circled or otherwise indicated.  Participants may only compete once in each relay.  Women’s, Men’s, and Mixed relay heats may be combined depending on entries.

Scoring: At the conclusion of the meet, an Overall Team Champion will be crowned.  The “Team Champions” will win bragging rights along with the coveted Minnesota Masters Swimming Loon Trophy. The winning team will be the Minnesota LMSC based Club or Workout Group who has the most cumulative points at the end of the meet.  Athletes & Relays will score points for their respective USMS Clubs and workout groups. Points will be awarded as follows; for Individual Events: 9,7,6,5,4,3,2,1; Relays: 18,14,12,10,8,6,4,2.  Note:  all 4 members of the relay must belong to the same Workout Group for that Workout Group to receive any points.  Club MINN Athletes & Relays will not score points towards overall team totals, but workout groups under Club MINN will.
