Meet Format

The order of events will follow the Three-Day Established Program Without Platform Diving (NCAA Rulebook, p. 117-119). 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 semi-finals), with heats alternating by gender. The fastest-seeded heats will 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 athlete 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/divers will only be eligible to compete 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. Actual participation in preliminaries and/or finals of a relay event is counted toward the maximum number of events; participation in exhibition or time-trial events is not.



Entry Limits

For individual events, teams are not limited as to the number of competitors that may be entered. For relay events, teams may enter two relays in the preliminaries but may advance only one to the finals. If a team's "B" relay is disqualified in the preliminaries, the team may still advance a relay to the finals but no members of the "B" relay may swim the event in the finals. If, however, a team's "A" relay is disqualified in the preliminaries, the team may not advance any relay to the finals in that event.



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 winners of the conference high-point awards and the conference team champions, will use an 8-place format, as follows:
Individual events: 9-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Relay events: 18-14-12-10
