You can enter by adding swimmers names to the list online using the form that appears on this page when registration is open - from three weeks prior, and up to one week before, Pointscore. Please DO NOT ask Coaches or administrators within the week preceding Pointscore as the programme cannot be amended.
If you're not sure whether you've entered the latest Pointscore, you can check by looking at the Pointscore Page in the Members Area, where a list of entrants can be found.
Object
The object of the competition is for swimmers to compete against their own times on a regular basis, under competition conditions. This allows swimmers to challenge for places in teams, and prepares them for competition. They will be gaining experience of racing. Points are scored for any improvements gained and are aggregated for the purpose of making periodic and annual awards. The competition is open to all members of the Club.
Conditions
Each swimmer competes against his or her Pointscore time and points will be awarded when a swimmer equals or betters his or her previous times.
The Pointscore qualifying time for each event is noted at the top of each event in the programme, on the Club website, and on the Club noticeboard.
Pointscore is an independent competition and only swimmers’ times achieved during Pointscore are noted (a swimmer’s personal best time will not appear in the times unless it was achieved during a Pointscore event).
Due to the pressure on Officials to keep the Pointscore Gala running to time it is the Timekeeper's priority to correctly record the swimmers time. However, if requested, verbal times will be given. Please note these verbal times may vary from those actually recorded and no responsibility will be assumed by the Club for any discrepancy between the recorded time and any verbal time given to a swimmer.
A big thank you to all helpers. Without you we could not hold galas.
