Club Scoring
B Categories—Club scoring will be tabulated in three two categories.
(1) Regional ClubsWomen’s—women’s individual events and women’s relay events. For
competition at national championship meets, a “Regional Club” consists of a club made
up of those swimmers who represent a club at nationals, but at competitions within their
LMSC, they compete for an entity or subgroup (such as a workout group) that is different
than the one they compete with at nationals.
(2) Local ClubsMen’s—men’s individual events and men’s relay events. For competition
at national championship meets, a “Local Club” consists of a club that does not qualify as
a Regional Club.
(3) Combined—women’s individual events, women’s relay events, men’s
individual events, men’s relay events and mixed relay events.
(3) The Championship Committee shall publish a list of Regional and Local Clubs no later
than February 15 of each year. A club may contest its designation by filing an appeal
with the chair of the Championship Committee at least 45 days prior to the national
championship meet.
Rationale: Provide a more equitable means of scoring the National Championships by proposing two
scoring divisions and giving awards for combined club scoring only (1st – 10th) in each category.
Other articles that would require changing in order to maintain consistency:
Article 104.5.7C – Awards page 36 Pacific Modify
Team Club awards – The organization conducting the national championship meet shall
provide awards to the first through tenth place clubs winners in the women's, men's and
combined categories for two categories: the Regional Club category and the Local Club
category. Points scored for a club will be the sum of all points scored by members competing
for that club in events for men, women, and relays.
