If it is like last year, you do need to check in a day ahead of time. You can do it in person, online, or have a trustworthy team member do it for you.
If you search your name on the meet roster, you'll get a list of the events you're entered in -- next to each event, it says whether or not check in is required. (Events 200 yards and under all say that check-in is NOT required; those over 200 say it is.)

They did in Arizona, but anytime the power failed on deck, they fell behind schedule. :) If you have the patience, just wait for the heat sheets to come out. You take the slowest time in each heat, add about 20 seconds for between-heat stuff, and "presto", instant time-line. :D
My 200 IM lists that I don't require check in, so you are right Karen. This differs from the meet information that says you have to check in. Maybe the timeline is such that they don't need to have a check in.

yep, I run our age group club's meets(AKA the computer guru on the team).
The power went out in Arizona, what a nightmare for the folks running the meet! It was outside, right? Outside meets are always a challenge to run! I haven't seen that happen at the Nat, tornadoes, fire alarms, but no power outage.
I've been to several meets at IUPUI, and those folks really know what they're doing. I think every time they've actually been ahead of the timeline. Expect a well run, very efficient meet!
Hey, Meg
Thanx for the quick reply. Now I have two questions on the subject.
1). Where is it written that the decision has been made?
I have been searching hours for the announcement.
2). Is the sixth event remaining on or remaining off? Or more simply, are those of us who signed up for six gonna swim six or five. For some of us it means arriving a day earlier or later and travel arrangements could be affected.
