I, the undersigned coach or team representative, certify that all swimmers on the enclosed entry and all coaches listed above are registered with USA Swimming.
I acknowledge that I am familiar with the safety rules of USA Swimming and Georgia Swimming, Inc. regarding warm-up procedures and that I shall be responsible for the compliance of my swimmers with those rules during this meet.

SCRATCH RULE
The Scratch Rule used in all meets in Georgia where the meet format has preliminary
heats, consolation finals, and finals is the same "Scratch Rule" as that found in the current
USA Swimming Rules and Regulations. Certain LSC additions listed below apply to all
timed final meets as well.
“D. Scratching from finals:
1. Any swimmer qualifying for a C, B, or A (bonus and consolation
final or) final race in an individual event who fails to compete in
said final shall be barred from further competition for the
remainder of the meet. A declared false start or deliberate delay
of meet is not permitted and will be regarded as a failure to
compete.
2. In the event of withdrawal or barring of a swimmer from
competition the Referee shall fill the C, B, or A (bonus and
consolation final or) final, when possible, with the next qualified
swimmer(s). First and second alternates shall be announced along
with the final qualifiers. These alternates shall not be penalized if
unavailable to compete in the finals.
3. Where C and B (bonus and consolation) finals have not been swum
and a barring or withdrawal is known to the Referee, the Referee
shall re-seed the C, B, or A (bonus final, consolation final or) final,
if necessary, to insert the alternate(s) in the appropriate lane(s),
filling all lanes in the final.
4. If the C or B (bonus and consolation) final has already been
contested, the companion final shall be swum without reseeding
for the empty lane(s).
E. Exceptions for failure to compete – No penalty shall apply for failure to
withdraw or compete in an individual event if:
1. The Referee is notified in the event of illness or injury and accepts the
proof thereof.
2. A swimmer qualifying for a C, B or A (bonus or consolation final or) final
race based upon the results of the preliminaries notifies the Referee within
thirty (30) minutes after announcement of the qualifiers for that race that
they may not intend to compete and further declares their final intentions
within thirty (30) minutes following their last individual preliminary
event.
3. It is determined by the Referee that failure to compete is caused by
circumstances beyond the control of the swimmer.”
LSC ADDITIONS:
1. Swimmers that qualify for any additional heats beyond the above mentioned “C, B
and A” final races will also be subject to the above rules concerning scratching from
finals.
2. In deck seeded events, a swimmer who has checked in, been seeded and fails to
compete in said event, shall be barred from his or her next individual event, except
as noted in section E above. This rule also applies in timed finals meets where the meet
management has placed limits on the number of heats to be contested or the number of
individual entries to be accepted for deck-seeded events, unless otherwise stated in the
Meet Information.
3. There is no scratch rule governing relays and there is no penalty regarding relay
scratches.
4. Qualifiers for all finals heats and first and second alternates are those as identified on
the original results of the preliminary heat.
5. The meet official designated to receive initial intentions not to compete and final
intentions shall be announced at the beginning of each session. It is suggested that this
official be the Clerk of Course.
6. On the final day of LSC Championship competition, any swimmer who has checked in
for finals and fails to show will be assessed a $50 fine. This fine must be paid before the
next LSC Championship meet in which the swimmer intends to compete or the swimmer
will be barred from competition.
7. “Positive check-in” , (for deck seeding), designating a swimmer’s intent to swim a
race, shall be denoted by the swimmer’s or coach’s initials next to the swimmer’s name
on the official entry sheet posted at the Clerk of Course.
