R31 Club Scoring

________________________________________________________________ R 31 104.5.6 page 35 Pacific Modify Action: Adopted Defeated Adopted/Amended Tabled Postponed Withdrawn Pulled Club Scoring B Categories—Club scoring will be tabulated in three two categories.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.
