TIMING ASSIGNMENTS

Each team with another meet responsibility is given two timing assignments. Each timing assignment requires timers time the entire session with stopwatches. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN STOPWATCHES. For Session III, timers will be assigned to each end of the pool to minimize delays in walking timers from one end to the other. There will be a mandatory timers’ meeting on deck approximately 20 minutes prior to the start of each session. Teams may exchange timing assignments but must notify the meet director prior to the meet. 

IT IS CRITICAL TO THE RUNNING OF THIS MEET THAT TEAMS ASSIGN RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE TO MEET THEIR TIMING RESPONSIBILITIES.

THREE TIMERS PER LANE REQUIRED FOR SESSION I

TWO TIMERS PER LANE REQUIRED FOR SESSIONS II AND III

PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY
