 At the Board of Director's Meeting Sunday night, several officials' policies were updated. The full list of updates can be found HERE. The most important of these updates is the officials' requirement at meets. As a results, the meet template has been update HERE  Please contact Dayna Gripp with any questions. The updated policy reads and is effective in all sanction approvals moving forward:

  • The Host team is responsible for procuring the following 3 positions: Meet Referee, Admin Official, and the Meet Director; these 3 do not need to be directly associated with the host team. Any club hosting a home meet must also provide two (2) officials for each day of their meet in addition to the three named above. Such officials must be current and in good standing.
  • All WYSI Clubs participating in any WYSI sanctioned meets are required to provide the following number of officials:              
  • 1-9 Swimmers - No Officials (unless you are the Host Club, then it shall be two (2) officials) 
  • 10-17 Swimmers – One (1) Official          
  • 18-25 Swimmers - Two (2) Officials
  •  26 or more Swimmers - Three (3) Officials
  • Each non-host club shall submit the name of the official(s) they are providing at the time their entries are submitted to the Host Club and Meet Referee. Non-host clubs will have authority to list officials not registered with their club if they have such official’s consent to do so. It shall be the non-Host Club’s responsibility to ensure that they have the required number of officials based on the number of total entries over the course of the meet or to have fulfilled this requirement as per the Meet Referee’s discretion. If a non-host club does not fulfill their obligation, a fine of $1000 will be assessed by WYSI and invoiced upon completion of the meet. It is the Meet Referee’s responsibility to notify the treasurer to invoice such club.
  • If a Host Club does not fulfill their obligation of ensuring adequate minimal staffing of a meet, a fine of $1000 will be assessed by WYSI and invoiced upon completion of the meet. It is the Meet Referee’s responsibility to notify the treasurer to invoice such club.
