2007 Short Course Age Group Championship
March 8-11, 2007

Message from the Age Group Championship
Meet Director

I would like to thank all of the many, many volunteers who helped make last weekend's meet safe, fun and successful. Although there were a few challenges, such as the weather, fire alarms and the public address system, all seemed to work well in the end.

We are presently working on the scoring of the meet. Before releasing the scores, we are ensuring that all athletes that need to be unattached are, in fact, marked unattached. As you know, this affects the scoring and we want to do our best to get this correct. At this point, we expect the final scoring to be out next week, but we'll try our best to do it sooner, if possible. So please be patient with us while we finalize the scoring.

Again, thanks to all and GOOD LUCK for a successful rest of season.

Chris Hug

Work Assignments Job Descriptions When do I report for my assignment?
Note to Timers Marshal Description
- Teams are reminded that workers are required to be present for the entire session. Please check the job reporting times list for the specific arrival and departure times. It is the responsibility of each team, not of the Meet Director, to find your workers. All workers should sign in at the office when arriving and leaving to ensure that your team is properly credited. Fines will be levied for no-shows, late arrivals and early departures. But we do not want your money! We need your people to be in place on time in order to run a quality championship for our swimmers. If jobs will be split, please make sure that the departing worker briefs the arriving worker on the requirements of the job. When timing assignments are split, both initial and replacement timers should attend the timers' meeting prior to the session. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Officiating for CT Age Group Championships

We will need a great deal of support from the CT swimming officiating community to provide fair and equitable competitive environments for our athletes. If you are able to officiate, please click on the link below, which will allow you to select the meets and sessions where you are available to work.

To ensure that your volunteer efforts are credited towards your teams work assignments, you will need to reply by February 25^th . Requests to officiate that are received beyond that date will certainly be welcome, but there is no guarantee that it will lessen your teams additional work assignments.

Note to All Timers:

Note to all Championship Lane Timers:

We very much appreciate your help, which is critical to the success of our Championship. In order to maintain the appropriately dignified atmosphere for a meet of this type, we would like to remind all timers that, as impartial meet personnel, cheering for specific teams or swimmers should be kept to a reasonable level. We realize that enthusiastic parents want to support their kids, so this is not a “zero-tolerance” policy. But do keep in mind that too much noise and enthusiasm can be a distraction to other swimmers, officials and timers, so please use your best judgment while on the pool deck. Thank you for your understanding.

Chris Hug
Meet Director
