SESA Meet Application Process – Winter 2016

HOW TO APPLY1. To apply for a meet, clubs must submit to the SESA Competition Committee:

Request Approval of Swim Meet: Winter 2016 Meet program, including any applicable time standards, and conditions of entry Clubs must nominate three dates for their meet, and rank them accordingly.

2. Meet applications open on Friday 18 December, and close on Friday 29 January 2016.

Applications are to be submitted to the SESA Competition Committee by email: [email protected]

3. Clubs will be notified of their meet date/s by Wednesday 3 February 2016, and the Winter Meet Calendar will be published on the SESA website.

Approvals will take longer if the meet applications are incomplete.

MEET APPLICATIONS1. SESA has adopted the Swimming NSW Competition Strategy Policy. Refer pages 10-12 for a

summary of meet conditions, events matrices and age groups.

2. The Competition Committee will allocate Meet levels to each available weekend, in conjunction with Development squad activities.

3. The Winter calendar is attached and clubs must consider the restrictions on some dates when applying for meets due to SESA, Swimming NSW and Swimming Australia meets, and development squad activities.

4. Clubs applying to host Development or Qualifying Meets have one of two options for their meet program:

i) select from one of the approved meet programs available on the Swimming NSW website with SESA approved conditions of entry (page 14)

ii) develop their own program provided it includes the events specified in the Swimming NSW and SESA Competition Structure (pages 10-12).

All programs, including conditions of entry and time standards (if applicable), will be approved by the SESA Competition Committee and SESA Executive Committee.

5. Clubs may not secure their first choice date for their meet.

All clubs will have the opportunity to host a meet before any club is allocated a second meet within the Winter season.

On dates other than those when the Area Championships are held, there may be up totwo meets held within the SESA area, however, the meet locations must be separated by at least 150 kilometres.

On dates where multiple clubs have indicated they would like to host a meet, the Competition Committee will choose which club will hold a meet on that date.

FOLLOWING THE MEET – RESPONSIBILITIES OF CLUBSResultsIn July 2012, Swimming NSW revised the Meet Approval Policy that all areas and clubs must follow to ensure their meets are approved. The policy requires meet results to be submitted to Swimming NSW by the area approving the meet rather than the club running the meet.

SESA has adopted the following procedure to ensure times swum at SESA approved meets can be used as qualifying times for SESA, Swimming NSW and Swimming Australia approved meets:

i. The Club Meet Convenor must forward by email the results no later than seven days after the meet to SESA at [email protected]

The following information must be provided:

a. Name of meet e.g. XYZ Swim Club Point scoreb. Date and location of meetc. Name of qualified referee and starter that officiated at the meetd. Attach a copy of the Meet Manager backup and Team Manager Results filee. Attach a copy of the Technical Official sign-on sheet.

ii. The Club who hosted the meet is responsible for uploads the results to the National Results Database no later than seven days after the meet. Swimming NSW SESA Development Officer will submit the files to Swimming NSW for approval.

iii. Swimming NSW will go through the following process once the results are received:

a. Check MM and TM files are includedb. Check the Referee and Starter named are currently accreditedc. Check that the meet is included in the Area Meet List (i.e. Meet has Area approval)d. Approve results in National Results Database

Please note that clubs that submit files directly to Swimming NSW will have the files returned to the area for approval.

Any duplicates, misspelt or incorrect information included in the Meet Manager and Team Manager files will be returned to the club to be corrected. If the file is not corrected, the times from that meet will not be eligible for qualifying times. This is extremely important, as swimmers need to have access to their latest and best times in order to enter SESA, Swimming NSW and Swimming Australia events.

Technical Officials – Sign on SheetThe SESA Executive has approved a Technical Official Award to be presented annually. All clubs must submit their Technical Official sign-on sheet with their results (refer to point i above). A current working with Children’s Check must be completed by all Technical Officials. SESA requires a WWC number from each Technical Official before undertaking any work at a meet.

SESA Short Course Area Records‘Season best’ records have been established for SESA members competing in area meets. Times swum at SESA approved short course meets during the Winter season, are eligible. Times swum at club nights, approved or non-approved, are ineligible for records.

SESA Point Score Awards SESA is currently reviewing the Point Score Awards. Information will be forwarded to all SESA Clubs once approved by the Competition Committee and SESA Executive Committee.
