Lee’s Hill Lightning Families,
I hope everyone is excited about tomorrow night’s first home meet of the year against the Ferry Farm Flying Fish!
Wednesday’s Schedule:
The pool closes at 4:00 PM on Wednesday. That is when the Meet Set up volunteers will begin to get the pool ready for the meet.
Swimmers are to report to the pool at 4:30 PM
Home Team warm ups start at 5:00 PM
Away Team arrive at ~5:00 PM and warms up at 5:30
All Lane Timers will meet with the Head Timer near Concessions at 5:40 PM
All Stroke and Turn & Runners will meet with the Referee at 5:40 PM near the starter’s tent.
Meet Starts promptly at 6:00 PM.
The home team sits on the clubhouse side of the pool.
I am still in need of three trained volunteers for the following very important positions:
Starter* | Second Half |
Stroke and Turn | Second Half |
Stroke and Turn* | Second Half |
In case of a rain delay or postponement I have copied the RSL Procedures below for your review.
The biggest thing I learned last year was to be flexible – remember if the meet get cancelled/postponed we will come back on Thursday night to complete the meet!
We will do our best to keep everyone informed via the Rained Out app.
Let all keep our fingers crossed for good weather, and a great first meet!
Call or e-mail if you have any questions.
Thanks to all the volunteers, without you none of this is possible!
See you all at the pool!

RAIN DELAY PROCEDURES
From RSL Rules
8.6. Rain delays/ postponements.
8.6.1. Before the start of the season, each RSL team shall provide a rain date for each of their home
meets. These rain dates need to be scheduled in a timely fashion to conform to the
requirements of the "seeding party".
8.6.2. Prior to the official start of the meet, the RSL representatives for the competing teams may agree to
reschedule the meet due to adverse weather conditions.
8.6.3. By mutual consent of the two RSL representatives a meet may be suspended due to inclement
weather once the meet has officially started. If the Representatives cannot agree, the
Referee will be the deciding authority. In the event of lightning a minimum delay of 20
Minutes is required (home team regulations, if longer, will apply). Each succeeding sighting of
lightning requires an additional minimum delay of 20 minutes. In cooperation with the home
pool the referee may determine when the teams can reenter the water and continue the meet.
8.6.4. Once a meet is suspended due to adverse weather conditions, the meet can be rescheduled
once cumulative weather delays exceed one (1) hour. Such a decision should not be made prior
to 7:30pm. A suspended meet cannot be continued after 10:00pm, unless each team's RSL
Representative agrees.
8.6.5. Any rescheduled or resumed meet must take place prior to "seeding party" deadline.
8.6.6. If a meet must be rescheduled due to inclement weather, the rain date provided by the home
team shall be the date utilized for the meet. A resumed suspended meet shall continue at
the point the meet was suspended.
8.6.7. If a meet cannot be completed on either the scheduled date or the rain date, the RSL
Representatives may mutually consent to reschedule the meet on another date. If an agreement
cannot be reached for rescheduling a meet, the home team RSL Representative shall submit a
written report to the Board detailing the reasons the meet cannot be completed.
8.6.8. The results of a meet that cannot be completed under the steps detailed in the above sections shall
be scored as follows:
8.6.8.1. If 46 events have been completed at the time of the meet's suspension, the meet
score as of the last fully completed event will determine the winner.
8.6.8.2. If less than 46 events have been completed in a meet that cannot be continued, no
winner or loser will be declared. Any completed events will be eligible for use in
qualifying for the Championship Meet and for RSL, Inc. league records.
