We had multiple scratches in our division this morning - a girl from another team drove over and jumped in and swam fly!

We did too, like two minutes before he swam! And he did awesome!

I've seen it happen twice- once was a false start, and they let another kid swim. The other time I'm not sure what happened, but someone else jumped in and came in second, lol

Our division just put in three alternates. (Double-digits).

at this point all teams know who got the bid in spots. So not likely, but you really never know.

We've had it happen every year in NVSL Divisions 8-9-10. Sometimes they know early enough to call the next on the list. One time it was literally 'is there any 15-18 girl here with a suit and not two events who wants to swim?!' That time it was an empty lane in the end...

It is pretty rare for an alternate to swim at divisionals. A swimmer would need to get hurt or ill, which is something that shouldn’t be hoped for!

Now for All Stars? There is more movement for alternates due to preplanned travel.

This is a Wendy's; in the whole league, 100%.

Have all alternates been notified if they are swimming at divisionals tomorrow? And what is the probability someone will scratch tomorrow morning?
