Officials are requested to help with the pre-meet planning for this meet by stating their availability to help as soon as possible. Please provide the information requested on the Application to Officiate for this meet, found on the New England Swimming web site (www.neswim.com).

Please do not submit an application within three days of the meet. "Walk-on" officials are always welcome and will be assigned to positions that are not filled.
If a team does not provide
the timers it has been assigned at a championship meet, the team will be fined
$100 per incident and will not be allowed to enter swimmers in another New
England meet until the fine(s) is paid.
This can be appealed to the Board of New England Swimming and is
enforced only if the meet management has properly assigned timers based on the
number of swimmers a team has entered in the meet.
