[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another few NVSL Qs: When team reps exchange the line-ups by 8 am Friday, do they share what events each swimmer will swim, or do they just give a list of the swimmers attending the meet? If the latter, then do the team reps/coaches formally assign the events once they see who is swimming from the other team? Is there a penalty for putting someone down when the team rep absolutely knows they are not able to swim (ie, is it “fraud”)?[/quote]

The firm entry lists are events.   It’s not fraud to list someone who you know can’t swim.  It’s actually explicitly encouraged if there is any chance the swimmer will be available.  You can substitute a slower swimmer for a faster swimmer but you cannot substitute a faster swimmer for a slower swimmer.  So you always list the faster swimmer even if you think it unlikely they will make the meet [/quote]

This. In fact, DCs team is doing this for tomorrow. It’s almost certain one of our swimmers will be unavailable but since it’s not impossible, the swimmer is in the lineup. The kids who will be subbed in if necessary have already been told, and the reps will make any changes in the morning. It happens all the time and is perfectly acceptable practice. [/quote]
