[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMX points are per year, not year bracket. In other words a swimmer with 2000 IMX points at age 11 may have 1700 immediately upon turning 12. Any given time in a stroke will get you less points as a 12 than as an 11 for the same time. So he might already have it or may not. [/quote]
+1, this is the correct response. If
your kid qualified last year as an 11 year old, he can still use all of those times from last year, but the point value is different as a 12 year old. I’ll give an example, an 11 year old boy who swam the 500 free in 6:00 got 576 points for that swim but as a 12 year old that time only gets you 437 points. So you would have to enter each of your kids’ times from last year and calculate how many points they get for those as a now 12 year old. [/quote]

But this doesn’t work for a qualifying 12 year old that is now 13.  The events are completely different.  You qualify on your 12 year events but with the new age for points as 13?[/quote]
The way I understand it from how our club handles it is that a 13 year old can qualify using a 12 year old score with 12 year old events only if they age up to 13 sometime between the beginning of this season and the IMX meet. There are multiple kids on our team that are 12 and will turn 13 in late November-mid January, so they will swim the 12 year old IMX events this season before they turn 13 to get their points which they can use to swim as a 13 year old in the meet.[/quote]
