Stapled order: 3^rd, 2^nd, 1^st, 4^th - 8^th (for benefit of announcer).

Dictate to writers: Lane #, finish place (starting with 1^stplace), name, & time. For swimmers who are DQed, still record time, and reason for DQ, if given.
Make sure names of 1^st, 2^nd, & 3^rd are readable for announcer.

1^st place - 5 points
2^nd place - 3 points
3^rd place - 1 point

SWEEP RULE: If one team finishes 1^st, 2^nd, & 3^rd, only give points for 1^st & 2^nd. Point for 3rd place goes to top legal finisher of opposing team. If they have no qualified finisher, 3^rd place is not awarded.. THOUGH PLACE POINTS ARE CHANGED,

Transfer running total to top of each new page.
Periodically compare scores with opposing team clerk to verify accuracy.
At end of meet, referees, coaches, and clerk must sign both copies of Meet Score Sheet.

Text Box: WINNING SCORE: Once a team has reached 233 points it cannot lose. The clerks are to stop scoring the meet, but continue to accurately record all swimmers times. Upon completion of the meet, only announce the winner.

Clerks may request swimmers, spectators, children, and coaches to clear away from the clerking area if they are distracting or interfering in any way. Coaches are responsible for the conduct of their entire team and guests. Ask the referee for assistance, if necessary.
