Lee's Hill Lightning News - HELP NEEDED FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S HOME MEET AGAINST GRAFTON

Lee’s Hill Lightning Families,

 

I am in need of 16 volunteers for positions for Wednesday night’s meet!!

 

It shocks me that we have so many Lane Timer positions available - SIX!  Especially since these are such great spots. This is because folks have changed vacations plans, and a couple of families dropped from the team, but signed up at the Ice Cream Social.

 

This is all to be expected during the busy summer time, as families plans change all the time.

 

Please use Sign up Genius to sign up for all these positions! Or e-mail me if you need help.

 

Remember – there is a link to SignUpGenius on our website golightning.org – and the code is simply – lightning.

 

Without all your wonderful volunteer efforts -  the meets just cannot happen.

 

I would love to get all these position filled quickly – so I do not have to worry about it.

 

Thanks for everything!

 

Go Lightning!

 

Bob Denecke

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.

Lee's Hill Lightning News - Help Needed for Wednesday Night's AWAY Meet against Chancellor

Lee’s Hill Lightning Families,

 

I hope everyone had a really great 4^th of July!!

 

Congratulations again to ALL our swimmers after a very close win over College Heights! I know all our swimmer are working hard, and their times are getting faster!

 

I need just a little more help in the second half of this week’s meet.

 

I want to thank all our volunteers!  I would especially like to thank ALL our trained volunteers!

 

Just an FYI – most of our trained volunteers are working well over the formal commitment. We do need to work on that for next year.

 

Getting trained by the RSL is really not that bad.

 

So – please if you can help this week in the second half – please go to Signup Genius and sign up for a slot.

 

I would love to see every slot filled!

 

Thanks Again to ALL our volunteers – from what I have seen - we have the best group of parents and swimmers in the RSL.

 

See you at the pool!

 

Go Lightning!

 

Bob

 

PS – That reminds me – I was told that more than one of our swimmers got a heat winner ribbon that they thought another swimmer deserved.  They sought out that other swimmer and gave them the heat winner ribbon!!

That is GREAT sportsmanship, makes me very proud, and is one of the many reasons why I love this team! 

 

Swimming Quote: If I have but one day to live, please take me to a swim meet because they last forever!
