Attention AMS: In order to control the duration of the JO's meet, the meet is
officially closed. Only teams already entered into the meet may change their entries.
The only changes that shall be allowed are moving swimmers from one event to another,
for events shorter than 400 meters. Teams may also remove swimmers from events or
from the meet. At this time we can not add any additional entries to the meet.
For additions please contact Pete Barry.
Any Allegheny Mountain Club not in JO's is directed to email entries and contact
Pete Barry, Allegheny Mountain Age Group Chairman at
pracoach@gmail.com or call 412-889-8314.
7/16/10 The following adjustments have been made to the Junior Olympics meet:
1) We will be limiting all events 400 meters and longer to the
fastest 24
swimmers that check in before the positive check-in deadline. We would ask
all teams to check the swimmers in to their events as soon as possible. The
sooner we can let the Top 24 know the better.
2) For those that are excluded due to these limitations, AMS will be allowing
only those swimmers a chance to time trial after the completion of the 12
and Under sessions on Saturday and Sunday time permitting. Time Trials are
limited to those already entered into the event prior to the entry deadline
date. Time Trials are limited to the 400 and longer events and shall
coincide with the events offered on that same day. Swimmers still may not
exceed the daily 3-individual-event limit. Swimmers that choose not to time
trial, but have already entered and paid for the event shall be issued a
refund for a non-swim. Swimmers choosing to enter the Time Trial and not
show up, forfeit the event fee and will be listed as a "No Show" and
shall be eligible for any punishments or fines that may result from a NS at a
championship meet following positive check-in.
3) Time Trials shall conclude at 4:30 PM. Any swimmer unable to swim due
to the time limit will be issued a refund.
4) A coaches meeting will be held Friday Morning at 7:15 AM to discuss the
following:
-Positive check in shall be required for
all events and teams, even Time
Trials.
-If a swimmer chooses to
not swim, please indicate with a line through the name
and the letters "SCR" by the name.
-Each team shall be given a sheet after the team's Coach signs in. The coach (or representative) will have up to 30 minutes prior to the start of
each prelim session to return the sheet. Swimmers/Teams not checked in will be
assumed as scratched and not seeded.
5) We are eliminating
all relays. If you need a relay swim for a sectional
or national qualifying time, please raise that point at the coaches meeting
and we will see if we can accommodate the swim.
6) All start times shall be as follows:
-All 13-and-Over prelim sessions will start at 8:00 AM
-All 12-and-Under sessions shall start 30 minutes after the completion
of the prior session.
-All Finals are scheduled to start at 5:30 PM.
