I noticed that Team Scoring has traditionally been divided into Small, Medium, and Large Teams for Men, Women, and Combined scores. However, this division into different team sizes seems to have stopped at the 2005 Nationals. Can someone please verify whether or not scoring will be divided into small, medium, and large teams this year.
THANKS!!
The current rule on Team Awards for National Championships is: The organization conducting the national championship meet shall provide awards to the first through tenth place winners in the women’s, men’s and combined categories.
This rule was adopted at the 2004 USMS Convention. The Championship Committee felt that the method of categorizing team divisions in Large, Medium, and Small categories was flawed. Some teams were asking swimmers not to attend National Championships or to attend unattached so as not to place the team in a different team size division.
