[quote=Anonymous][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]

So if the team rep sees that the other team’s super fast swimmer is swimming x and y event, they are not permitted to then switch our team’s super fast swimmer to x and y? Once they have exchanged the firm entry list with the events, those are the swimmers in that event *unless* they sub a different swimmer in? Do the alternates have to appear on the firm entry list as alternates, or does the team have the full bench from which to sub out so long as the swimmer is slower? In other words, can they move swimmer A, listed in breast and fly on the firm entry list, to free and back while moving swimmer B to breast and fly? [/quote]

No, you can only sub for absence so if swimmer a is in free and gets subbed swimmer a can’t swim anything else in the meet.   [/quote]
