Scratch Policy
1. Any swimmer who competes in a preliminary heat and qualifies as one of the original 16 finalists must swim in that final’s event or must notify the Admin Ref that he/she intends to scratch from that final’s event within 30 minutes of the announcement of the qualifiers.
2. Swimmers may reverse their intention to scratch and choose to be seeded for finals if they do so within 30 minutes of the conclusion of the preliminary session for that day.
3. Any swimmer in a championship or consolation final who fails to swim that event will be barred from their next individual event, excluding finals and relays, in which he/she is entered unless excused by the meet referee due to one of the exceptions below.
4. A swimmer not originally qualified for the championship or consolation final that is seeded into a final due to a scratch of another swimmer will not be penalized for failing to swim in that final.
No penalty shall apply for failure to withdraw or compete in an individual event if:
1. The referee is notified in the event of illness or injury and accepts the proof thereof.
2. It is determined by the Referee that failure to compete is caused by circumstances beyond the control of the swimmer.
