TIMING ASSIGNMENTS

Each team with another responsibility is given two timing assignments. Each timing assignment requires timers the entire session with stopwatches. For session III timers will be assigned to each end of the pool to minimize delays in walking timers from one end to the other. Timers must report 30 minutes prior to the start of the session. Teams may exchange timing assignments but must notify the meet director prior to the meet. 

IT IS CRITICAL TO THE RUNNING OF THIS MEET THAT TEAMS ASSIGN RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE TO MEET THEIR TIMING RESPONSIBILITIES.
