THE MEET
Colleges will be assigned to North or South Divisions. Each college in a division will swim against its opponents in one large competition but scoring will be based on time comparisons for college-to-college matches within their division. The top three colleges in each division will qualify for the championship meet. Tyng oints will be awarded by how many opponent colleges a college places ahead of and swim points will not be carried over from the preliminary to final races.
