Rules Updates for 2024 NJSDC will run all meets following USA Swimming and United States Diving (USD) rules in 2024. Note the following updates to the NJSDC Rule Book. Removing sections: V. CONDUCT OF MEETS D. The USA Swimming and United States Diving (USD) rule books will prevail except as noted below- the back stroke turn exception has been removed V1. SCORING 5 SWIMMING EVENTS A. All swimming events shall be governed by the USA Swimming rule book except that a swimmer shall be allowed one (1) non-deliberate false start without penalty
Swimming League Reminders for 2024 Note like last year: If annual dues aren t submitted to the Conference Treasurer prior to the first dual meet, the conference will not sanction any dual meets for the teams in violation. If insurance forms aren t submitted to your League Coordinator prior to the first dual meet, the conference will not sanction any dual meets for the teams in violation. If rosters aren t submitted to your League Coordinator prior to the first dual meet, the conference will not sanction any dual meets for the teams in violation. If a team does not submit their dual meet results online within 1 week of the meet, the meet will be considered a loss for purposes of final standings. 15
Swimming League Reminders for 2024 Like last year: A swimmer must compete in a minimum of 4 dual meets in order to be eligible to swim in the Championship meet. A swimmer must compete in a minimum of 4 dual meets in order to be eligible to swim in the Conference meet. Swimmers must legally swim an event at least once in order to compete in that event at the Championship meet, or in the Conference meet. Any dual meet that completes 22 events will be considered official, although coaches may agree to continue the meet at a later date. 16
Dual Meets Consider Running Paperless SwimTopia/Meet Maestro Recommended (Meet Manager also) Full team management or lite version for meets only No meet sheets, no lane cards (heat sheets printed at meet) Entries done on PC prior to meet day, either sent as entries like championships, or linked within the application Seed and score the meet on PC Export/upload results - no retyping Some Team Rep Comments on Using Meet Maestro: Meet entries are enormously easier to manage in SwimTopia. Coaches can work in collaboration from different places! No more paper and much lower risk of human error on averaging. No lost meet results. They're already in the computer so no one needs to keep track of the official results. Once meets are in Meet Maestro, both teams can do scratches on their own computers. Easily reduce heats, etc. Ability to produce awards labels, real time results app, much more 17
