Sub Regionals Update.

Unfortunately, the Sub-Regional Meet (SRM) is oversubscribed and has required the removal of a number of swimmers' entries to bring the sessions on the Saturday to the required time. All scratched swimmers have been designated as ALTERNATES (ALTs on the attached file) which means that unless someone in the event withdraws between now and the day of the meet, the swimmers marked as ALTs will not swim in the competition, and the appropriate refund will be made. However, should a space become available (including as a result of withdrawals on the day of the meet) the next eligible ALT swimmer will be offered the place. The method used to decide the ALTs is that listed in the meet pack and is a percentage of the Upper Cut off Time for all strokes and age groups. Experience from previous years shows that swimmers who do not swim in the SRM as a result of this method of adjusting the entries have swum in the following Regional Championships by qualifying on a Consideration Time. The calculation has also been made using the age group the competitors will be in in the 2016 Regional Championships, and not on the one they are swimming in this year's SRM.

As a result of the oversubscription, the order of events in the first two sessions on the Saturday has had to be changed. Events 18 and 19 (50m Breaststroke) at the end of session 3 will now be swum after event 10 at the end of session 2 - see attached revised session running order. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
