Please read the message below carefully, it gives everybody an opportunity to enter the International Championships swimming 25m events only but WITHOUT MEETING THE ENTRY QUALIFYING TIMES.
 
Please e-mail me urgently if you need any further explanation.
 

When the Entry Criteria for the International Competition 2008 was first considered, it was thought there would be other competitions at National and Regional level leading to the International and World competitions.   Some National competitions have happened but there have been no fully endorsed Regional Competitions. We realised that due to the lack of competitions it has been difficult for 'new' swimmers to obtain times.

 

Therefore, and  just for 2008, to give these 'new' swimmers an opportunity to compete the DSISO Executive has decided to include an additional 25m "Class" of Competition within the International Competition. 

 

Countries are invited to enter swimmers that comply with the following Ruling:

 

Countries may enter swimmers for the new 25m Events BUT ONLY if …

  • They have no current Time
  • Or
  • Their Entry Time is slower than the published Qualifying Time. 

 

The swimmers will be seeded into Races…

·         As soon as they have submitted a time. 

·         This time may be changed up to 16.00 on Thursday 27 November 2008

·         If no time is provided by this date then the swimmer will not be allowed to compete.

 

Countries must provide the additional Names and Events to td@dsiso.org copy dsisoportugal2008@gmail.com no later than 15 August 2008

From DSISO Executive - Technical Director
 
Reference - Entry Times for 4th DSISO International Competition
 
There have been some questions asking if Entry Times provided on the Entry Matrix can be changed as the Competition gets closer.  This WILL be possible, provided that the new Time offered remains within the Qualifying Time I will accept changes until 16.00 on Thursday the 27th November.

 

There will be NO changes after this time, so please ensure that you DO e-mail any changes as soon as you know them to : td@dsiso.org and to dsisoportugal2008@gmail.com
