SCORING DUAL MEETS

Each swimmer can swim a maximum of 4 events, with a maximum of 2 individual events. Each team is allowed 3 varsity entries per event. Varsity entries can score points. The rest of the swimmers will be exhibition entries, which do not score points; although, all results count toward earning qualifying times. Varsity entries are in the same heat and are the last heat in the event. Scoring is determined by the order of finishes during the varsity events.
