2016 RSL Finals Information

Lee’s Hill Lightning Families,

 

Well – RSL Finals are almost here!

 

I see that all our Lightning swimmers are practicing hard during this last week.

 

It should be a very exciting meet! Anything can happen at Finals!

 

As you know, the Lee’s Hill Lightning Swim Team is the host team for this year’s RSL American Division Finals.

 

A lot of hard work has gone into the planning for this event.

 

Our Concessions Committee has been working especially hard to get all the supplies they need to create a wonderful menu, and all the logistics involved to make it happen. This is a huge undertaking!

 

Since we are hosting this event, I ask that everyone please help out where needed. Many hands make light work.  

 

Rather than re-typing everything, I have included in this e-mail the instructions I have put together that were sent out to all the teams in our division. I have also included a very general timeline of the events.

OVERVIEW

The meet is broken into two halves (with 3 worker’s sessions). 

Our team warms up at 6:45 AM.  Please be at the KG YMCA by 6:15 AM.

First session will start promptly 8:00 AM and includes all events for swimmers 10 and under (events 1-22). 

The second half will begin at approximately 11:45 AM and will include the graduated relays, 12 & under IM, 12 & under Medley Relay, and 12 & under 100 Free (events 23-34). 

After that all the 11-12 and older events will take place (events 35-66).  The complete event list is at the bottom of the page and will be in the heat sheet books available at the meet.

There are two halves to the meet, but three worker's sessions. The first session includes all events in the first half (events 1-22). The second session is events 23-42 and the third session is events 43-66. 

FINALS SCORING

The event entries shall be divided into 3 groups designated A, B, and C.

 In scored individual events, points will be given to the 6 competitors who achieve the fastest times in each of the A, B, and C groupings.

 Points awarded for 1st through 6th places will be: 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, respectively.  Awards will be given to the 6 competitors who achieve the fastest times in each of the A, B, and C groupings.

 In scored relay events, points will be given to the 6 teams who achieve the fastest times.

 Points awarded for 1st through 6th place will be: 14, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2, respectively.  Awards will be given to the 6 teams who achieve the fastest times.

VOLUNTEER SIGN UPS

 

The volunteer positions are filling up – thank you for signing up - but I still need the following positions filled.

 

As a reminder – if your child is swimming in Finals – you are required to sign up for at least one position.

 

Concessions need a lot of help!
