Penguin
Families,
This year
our team roster will once again exceed 100 members.
Since league rules changed a few years ago allowing
ALL swimmers on a team's roster to score points in
dual meets, having a large team means being able to
fill out our relay events thereby increasing our
point scoring potential. However, EBSL rules state
that only 100 swimmers from each team will be
allowed to swim at Championships (the big meet at
the end of the season where all EBSL teams
compete). Unfortunately, this means that some of
our swimmers must be excluded from participating at
Championships.
The
Executive Board and coaches have conferred on how
best to deal with the issue of choosing the
swimmers for championships and have created a
policy for selecting these 100 swimmers, or "Champ
100," which gives due consideration to each swimmer
based on a variety of important factors of team
membership.
Southgate
Swim Team Policy for Selecting the "CHAMP
100"
The
Southgate Champ 100 are those 100 swimmers
selected to participate in the EBSL
Championship Meet at the end of the
season.
Coaches'
Guidelines:
The
Champ 100 swimmers will be selected by the
team coaches according to the following
guidelines. Listed in order of importance,
they are:
- Ability
to score points.
- Age
group balance.
- Dedication,
number of meets and practices
attended.
- Number
of years with the team and
senior/graduating
status.
- Team
spirit and overall
attitude.
Notes:
- In
order to be eligible for championships,
swimmers must participate in at least 4
dual meets during the
season.
- The
Champ 100 roster will be posted at the
club prior to being submitted to the
league.
- In
cases where there is disagreement with
the coaches' selection,
swimmers/parents must contact the
coaches for an explanation. Should this
not lead to a satisfactory outcome,
cases can be brought before the
Executive Board for resolution. The
decision of the Executive Board will be
final.
Southgate
Swim Team Policy for Selecting Swimmers
for Dual Meets
When Restricted to 100
Swimmers
League
rules state that the home team may
restrict the visiting team to 100 swimmers
when necessary, for purposes of conforming
to the rules of the home team's pool
regarding time constraints, parking, club
capacity, noise, etc. When we are the
visiting team under these conditions, the
coaches will use the guidelines above for
selecting the 100 swimmers who will
participate in the dual
meet.
