[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]

From the meet announcement:

Any swimmer that is 9-14 year-old is eligible for the meet who has achieved the minimum qualifying score in any age during the qualifying period. That is, a swimmer who has achieved a minimum qualifying score as a 10-year-old and ages up to 11 prior to the start of the meet will be eligible to enter the meet and compete as an 11-year-old. A 12-year-old who has achieved the minimum qualifying score but ages up to 13 prior to the start of the meet will be eligible to enter the meet and compete as a 13-year-old (even if he/she has not swum all the required events as a 13 yr old).[/quote]
