Timing Judge–Timing Designation Primary

Automatic timingSemi-automatic, with two or three buttons per lane, each operated by a separate timerManual, with three watches per lane, each operated by a separate timer

Secondary If watches are not primary system, need secondary system equal to or lower than the primary systemStationary overhead video cameras recording 100 images per second (cameras integrated with primary system)Semi-automatic, with one, two or three buttons per lane, each operated by a separate timerManual, with one, two or three watches per lane, each operated by a separate timer

TertiaryUnless primary system is manual watches or secondary is video integrated with primary system or includes at least 1 manual watch, at least one manual watch per lane shall be provided

Timing Judge–Timing Designation (con’t)

Except where the primary system consists of watches, each competition must have at least two timing systems – primary and secondary

Secondary and tertiary times are recorded but not used except to corroborate or correct missing or inaccurate primary/secondary results

Timing Judge – Timing SystemsTiming, Finish Systems

AutomaticClock starts with starter’s signal; stops when swimmer touches timing pad

Most common systems:Colorado Timing SystemsDAKOmega

Semi-automaticClock starts with starter’s signal; stops when timer depresses button or plunger when swimmer touches timing pad/pool wall

ManualClock starts manually by timer at starter’s signal; stops when timer stops watch when swimmer

Timing Judge – Determining Official Times

Automatic TimingWhen recorded properly, the pad time shall be the official time

Semi-automatic and manual timingIf two of the three buttons or watch times agree, that shall be the time for that timing systemIf all three buttons or watches disagree, the time of the intermediate button or watch shall be the time for that timing systemIf only two buttons or watch times are available, the time shall be the average of those two buttons or watch times. Digits representing thousandths of a second shall be dropped with no rounding.If only one watch or button is available, the time of that button or watch shall be the time for that timing system.

9/14/2016

Timing Judge – Determining Official Times (con’t)

Primary Timing System Malfunction my have occurred if:

Difference between the time obtained by the primary system and the back-up system(s) is approximately .30 second or greater

Place judge reports a different order of finish

It is reported the swimmer missed the pad or had a soft touch

Timing Judge – Adjusting for Timing System Differences

When determined, the back-up time(s) shall be adjusted for the differences in timing systems and then integrated with accurate primary times to establish official times

Never take a good pad time away from a swimmer!!!Timing system difference is determined by calculating the consistent average difference between valid primary and backup systems used at the meetAdjustments in a Nutshell

Watches close to pad – pad officialWatches close to button – adjust button

Pad – Button; Average; Adjust Button TimeWatches not close to pad or button – adjust average watch

Pad-Average Watch; Average; Adjust avg. watch timeLate start of timing system

Average Watch – Pad; average; adjust pad

9/14/2016

15

Timing Judge – Adjusting for Timing System Differences (con’t)

Watch the clock start and finishes. Note a late start and late touch.Look at the timing system sheets ASAP after the heat. Look for the following:

Compare the pad and buttons. Look for the .30 discrepancy. Do not depend on the “*” on the printout. Look for ties between pad and button, examine if they occur often.Where there is a discrepancy, compare to watch times.

Adjust using either Meet Manager or manually if computers are not availableWhen an error occurs, try to fix the cause! If you are observing a malfunction in equipment, bring it to the attention of the person who can fix it. When it is operator error, speak to the timer, or notify the referee (determine the flow of information at the officials’ meeting)

Timing Judge – Order of FinishPlace and ranking by integration of official times, including those adjust within the rulesTies – official times identical to hundredths shall be ties, with swim-offs as required to determine qualifiers or alternates for consolation or final heats

Always be certain to notify the referee when preliminary results show ties to determine qualifiers or alternates for bonus, consolation, or final heats (e.g. A, B, C finals)In timed finals, results are reported as a tie with both swimmers receiving the award for that place

Judging – Place judging shall be used to change the order of finish produced by the ranking of official times ONLY IF:

Swimmers competed in same heatTimes obtained from automatic timing equipment are not availableBoth place judges observed different relative order of finish and made a written record of their observation at the conclusion of the heatAll judge’s decisions (JD) must be indicated in the meet results

9/14/2016

16

Timing Judge – Disqualifications

A swimmer disqualified while swimming an event does not earn an official time. Rather, a DQ is designated on the event results.

The referee may ask the Administrative Official to keep a DQ log to record all disqualifications.

Path for forms: usaswimming.org/member resources/applications and forms OR within meet manager, go to the reports menu select administrative and print forms needed under the PDF forms option

Timing Judge - Times

Official Time

No swimmer shall be required to re-swim a race due to equipment failure, which results in unrecorded or inaccurate time or place

All times are reported to hundredths (.00) of a second; TRUNCATE - NO ROUNDING UP OR DOWN

9/14/2016

17

Timing Judge - TimesPerformance Requirements

Official time achieved only in an USA Swimming sanctioned, approved, or observed competition

Any heat including time trialsSwim-off to determine qualifiers or alternates for finalsLeadoff leg in a relaySplit time recorded from official start to completion of an initial distance with a legal finish within a longer event

Swimmer must finish prescribed distance in the event or leadoff portion of the relay with no disqualifications

Official time for an event or stroke can be achieved only in that event or stroke, or in an initial distance of that event or stroke

Times achieved in freestyle events, regardless of stroke swum, are recorded as freestyle timesDisabled swimmer swimming a 50 event with a time equivalent to a 200 may be placed in the 200 event with the referee cognizant of the fact

What Exactly Is The Official Time?

Does at least one button confirm pad time?

Buttons confirm each other?

Watch time confirm the pad time?

Watches confirm one button time?

Watches confirm each other?

Collect order of finish and then compare with pad, button, watch times and use your best judgement

Use the pad time

Use the average of the buttons

CLERK OF COURSE – SeedingAssignment of a heat and lane to each swimmer based on entry times within an event

General Principles

Heats usually assigned slowest to fastestFastest swimmers compete in the last heatFastest swimmers get the “best” water

Inside lanes (lanes 3 and 4 in a six-lane pool; lanes 4 and 5 in an eight-lane pool, etc.)

Swimmers assigned to lanes in the following order:6-Lane pool: 3-4-2-5-1-68-Lane pool: 4-5-3-6-2-7-1-8

Every heat must have at least three swimmersTimes ranked fastest to slowest, with “non-conforming” times last (short course vs. long course), followed by NT (no time), if allowed

DECK ENTRY PROCEDURES

At a non‐LSC Championship meet, an athlete may be deck entered into that event provided that they meet the following conditions:

i. The athlete is a USA Swimming registered athlete.

ii. The athlete and/or the athlete’s club is already entered into the meet.

iii. The athlete has not exceeded the maximum individual entries limit

for the day/meet.

iv. The athlete’s time for the deck‐entered event is within the qualifying

times for the meet, if applicable.

The entry fee for deck entries is $10, inclusive of a deck entry surcharge, but in addition to any meet‐specific surcharges. Deck entries close 30 minutes prior to the start of the session.

9/14/2016

25

DECK ENTRY PROCEDURESThe procedure for deck entering is as follows:

1) The Admin Official will place a "Deck Entries" (on the AMS Website under “Forms”) sheet at the Admin table prior to the beginning of warm-ups.

2) Coaches/Swimmers will provide the athlete’s name, club, seed time, and time of

submission, then pay the Admin Official the $10 entry fee (cash or check

payable to the host club).

3) The Admin Official will verify the athlete’s registration by first checking to

see if the athlete is already entered in the meet. If they athlete is already

entered, the Admin Official may proceed; if not, the coach of the athlete must

prove the athlete’s registration status by showing their Member Card, Deck

Pass app, or LSC-portal generated member roster. Once the registration status

is verified, the Admin Official will add the athlete to the meet.

4) The Admin Official must check the current meet entries to ensure that the athlete and/or the athlete’s club has already been entered into the meet, and that the athlete will not exceed the maximum number of events for the day or meet by adding the deck entry event. Should the athlete exceed either of the event limits, the athlete should not be deck-entered and the fee should be returned. An exchange of a deck-entered event for an already entered event is not permitted.

5) The Admin Official must ensure that the athlete's entry time is within those permitted in the meet's announcement – Person entering the athlete must come with Proof of Time, when meet requires “Proof of Time”.

6) The Admin Official will fill out a Standby Ticket and hand it to the coach/athlete. It is the coach’s responsibility to distribute the Standby Ticket to the athlete.

7) The athlete will proceed to the Starter at the beginning of the deck-entered event with their Standby Ticket. The Referee will direct the athlete to move to an open lane: in this event, the athlete will hand the Standby Ticket to the timer in that lane and proceed to compete; in the event that there are no open lanes, the swimmer shall return the Standby Ticket to the Admin Official for a refund
