Coaches,
Attached please find the Psych Sheet and Estimated Prelims and Finals timeline for the Southern Zone South Sectional Feb 8-11 in Orlando.
NOTES:
As you will see, this is a very large meet. All prelims sessions will use chase starts (women from one end, men from the other). In addition, the 400 free on Friday will be A-B flighted as will all events in Saturday's prelims.
Because the meet reached its entry cap during the regular qualifying period, we will not be accepting new qualifiers or late entries.
Most of the override times have been cleared at this point, however there are a dozen or so remaining. We will require proof-of times for those entries. Proof of times are official results from sanctioned or observed meets, or meets sanctioned by another World Aquatics member federation that can be added to the SWIMS database. Please send time proofs to Vanessa Brewer if you are a Florida Swimming Club, and to me if you are a Florida Gold Coast Club. Entry times that are not proven by the scratch deadline for the event in question will be scratched.
There are 10 athletes who must complete APT to be in good standing with USA Swimming. If I am unable to confirm (in SWIMS) that they have become in good standing with USA Swimming by 8:00 PM Wednesday, they will be scratched from their events. Please note: It can take a while for SWIMS to update APT status, so if you want your athletes to swim, please make sure they complete their APT well before that deadline.
Positive check-in is required for Thursday's 800 freestyle. The deadline is 8:00 PM. Please text your check-ins to 954-613-6672. You may text scratches to the same number.
Looking forward to a great meet,
Allan
