Meet Format

The order of events will follow the format of the Three-Day Established Program Without Platform Diving (NCAA Rulebook, p. 117-119), the same format used for the NCAA Division III national championship meet. The 1650 freestyle is a timed-final event. All but the fastest-seeded heats will be swum at the end of the Saturday preliminaries session (following the diving events), with heats alternating by gender. The fastest-seeded heats be swum as the opening events of the Saturday finals session.



Number of Competitors

Each team is permitted to enter a maximum of 18 competitors in the meet. An athlete who swims will be counted as one full competitor; an entrant who only dives will be counted as one-third of a competitor. For relays, actual participation in preliminaries and/or finals of an event is counted toward the maximum of 18 competitors.



Exhibition Athletes

Teams may enter an athlete as an exhibition swimmer and/or diver in any individual event. Exhibition swimmers will only be eligible to swim in the preliminaries.



Number of Events

A competitor is permitted to participate in a maximum of seven (7) events, of which no more than three (3) may be individual events.



Entry Limits

For individual events, teams are not limited as to the number of competitors that may be entered. For relay events, teams may advance one relay to the finals.



Scoring

Individual events will be scored to 16 places, as follows:
Championship Final: 20-17-16-15-14-13-12-11
Consolation Final: 9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Relay events will be scored as follows:
Championship Final: 40-34-32-30-28-26-24-22
Consolation Final: 18-14

AMCC swimmers and divers will also be scored according to their performance against other AMCC athletes. This separate set of scoring, which will determine the conference team champions, will use an 8-place format, as follows:

Relay events: 18-14-12-10
