MARYLAND SWIMMING, INC.
SCRATCH PROCEDURES (PARTS I-IV ONLY)
(May 6, 2004)
I. USA Swimming Rules: MSI follows USA Swimming Rules Section 207.7.9 D (1) – (4) and
Section 207.7.9E(1) – (3) with modifications and clarifications as follows.
II. Pre-seeded Timed Final Events: There is no penalty for not competing (scratching) in a pre-seeded
timed final event.
III. Positive Check-in Events (applies to both timed final and
prelims/finals events): In meets with positive check-in events, swimmers have
to check-in with a meet official prior to swimming their events. Refer to the
information package or meet notice for check-in requirements. If the swimmer
fails to swim (scratches) after checking in for a positive check-in event, the
swimmer will be disqualified from his/her next individual event unless the
swimmer declares a false start per Rule 102.15.5D prior to the start of his/her
heat. Swimmers failing to positively check-in will not be penalized nor allowed
to compete in that event.
IV. Prelims/Finals Events (non-National Championship format meets):
A. There is no penalty
for a swimmer not competing in the preliminary heats of individual events.
B. A swimmer
qualifying for (based on the results of the preliminaries) and wishing to
scratch from a bonus, consolation or championship finals race shall notify the
scratch official within 30 minutes of the announcement of the event results.
C. Alternately, a
swimmer may make a declaration of intent to scratch within 30 minutes of the
announcement of the preliminary event results, with final decision to scratch
or not scratch being reported to the scratch official within 30 minutes of the
completion of the swimmer’s last individual preliminary event of the session. A
swimmer declaring their intention to scratch and failing to return to the
scratch official to make final resolution on the intent to scratch will result
in the swimmer being seeded into the respective final heat. This Rule also
applies to announced alternates for each of the individual events.
D. All other swimmers
finishing below the places of the announced alternates will be excused from the
responsibility of returning for bonus, consolation or championship finals
heats.
E. If a swimmer fails
to scratch and subsequently does not compete in the bonus, consolation or
championship finals events, he/she will be barred from competing in the
remainder of the meet, including relays unless such failure to compete is
excused by the meet referee. For swimmers registered in the Maryland LSC, if
the failure to compete occurs at the swimmer’s last event of the meet, the
swimmer will be fined $50.00. This fine must be paid in accordance with Maryland
Swimming Inc. Rules and Regulations before that swimmer or any swimmer from
that club may compete in any other MSI sanctioned or approved meet.
F. There will be no
penalty for not competing in pre-seeded relays.
G. Per USA Swimming
Rule 207.7.9 D (1), declared false starts are not allowed in the bonus,
consolation, or championship final heats of a prelims/finals event.
H. In Maryland
Swimming non-championship meets, the meet host is responsible for specifying,
in the meet notice, any authorized deviations to these procedures.
