For which type of events will a split notification form be required and when?
The rulebook 105.2.2 has not changed, but at several USMS Nationals lately splits were automatically submitted for Top Ten and Records - but not always to the USMS database.
Please advise, especially with regard to lead-off relay splits.
Thanks.

Splits will automatically be considered for World and USMS records and for Top 10, except for splits from individual backstroke events and the 50 split from the backstroke leg of the 400 medley relay (and except for DQs, of course). Individual split request forms must be submitted for those backstroke splits prior to each race so officials can verify that the swimmer did a legal backstroke finish at the requested split distance. At this point, automatic split reports have not been entered in the data base.
