I am considering scratching an event at an upcoming meet. Is there a protocol that I should be aware of. For instance, at a USA meet, if you fail to report to the blocks for event A, you are automatically DQ'd for event B. Is this true in USMS as well? I would like to make a "game time" decision, but it's the 2nd event that I'd like to focus on, and would be totally bummed if I screwed up.
There is no penalty for not swimming an event.If it is deck seeded,then you want to let them know before the seeding.If heats are pre-seeded,then you can wait until the last second to see if you want to swim the event.You don't have to notify anyone,but you can as a courtesy.
