USA Swimming Virtual Club Championships Program
Description
Purpose: Recognize clubs that are developing
athletes and achieving success at multiple levels in the club
swimming continuum emphasizing the team element in club swimming.
Period: The Virtual
Club Championships will be tabulated annually for both the
short course yards (SCY) and long course meter (LCM) seasons.
Rankings will be tabulated using results achieved betweeen
September 1 and August 31 of the following year.
Tabulation: All USA Swimming clubs will be
scored automatically. The USA Swimming Star Times Data Base will be
used in combination with the Hy-Tek Single-Year Age Group Power
Point system. The program will score single age groups from 11-16
years old and have a combined 17-18 age group. After all eligible
swims have been scored using the power point system, a team score
for each registered USA Swimming club will be calculated. The
tabulation process occurs very early every morning.
Team Event Limit: Two entries per event by age
group and gender. The program will automatically tabulate which two
events in combination with other teammates produce the highest team
score.
Individual Event Limit: Four events. A swimmer
may contribute only 4 times per season even if they age up
(i.e. may have two times selected as an 11-year old and two as a
12-year old, but not four as an 11-year old and four as a 12-year
old). The program will automatically tabulate which four events in
combination with other teammates produce the highest team score.
For a swimmer’s point total on a specific swim to
count toward the overall team total, the athlete and/or their swim
must meet the following eligibility criteria:
- Times must have been achieved while representing a USA Swimming
club (no unattached times).
- Age Groups and Events: The following event
results will be tabulated for both men & women:
- 11 & 12 year olds – 50 Fr, 100s of each stroke, 200
Free, 4/500 Free, 200 IM (8 events).
- 13, 14, 15, 16, 17-18 year olds – All recognized Olympic
events (13 events). For Women the 1000y/800m
free & for Men the 1650y/1500m will be the long
distance event scored.
