Anyone know what the entry deadline will be for the SCY 2004 national meet?
Reason I ask -- the meet is rather early this year (April 22-25). In New England, we are looking to schedule our local SCY championship meet. It would be nice to be able to have our meet before the entry deadline for the nationals, so that people can use times from our meet to enter.
(Seems to me it makes sense for USMS to push the entry deadline as close to the meet as practical, since I imagine lots of other LMSCs will have SCY championship meets right around the entry deadline.)

if you go to the rule book, the order of events is listed in part 1, page 42. it's 104.5.2A. (it took me some tries to find it, but i knew i had seen it earlier!)
:cool:
The meet entry postmark deadline is March 11, 2004 and entry received deadline is March 18, 2004. The Meet Information document is in the January-February issue of SWIM.
Thanks, I really appreciate the reply.
But I have one more question: does the "entry received" deadline mean that I could enter the meet online by that date? I only ask because I have a meet on March 14, so I wouldn't make the postmark date with times from that meet, but could make the entry received date if I did everything online.
(This is probably a dumb question, but this is my first year as a Masters swimmer and I don't want to screw up my entry.)

Online entries are encouraged and will be accepted until the end of the day CST on March 18, 2004. Don't wait until the last minute, computers have a habit of not working at the last minute.
