DUAL MEET SCORING

Individual Events

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

If swimming unopposed (no competition from the opposing team)

- Only 1st place points (5) will be awarded...no 2nd or 3rd place points will be awarded
- All ribbons will be awarded

If the same team has the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes, the "No Sweep" rule is in effect. The 3rd place points (1) will be awarded to the opposing team, however the 3rd place swimmer will receive the 3rd place ribbon.

Relays
1st place   7 points (only 1st place teams earn points for relays)
Swimming unopposed   4 points


Ties
Points are averaged and awarded equally.  For example: Swimmers in an individual event tie for 1st place. Each swimmer will be awarded (5 + 3)/2, or 4 points and first place ribbons. The 3rd swimmer will receive 1 point and the third place ribbon.


B CONFERENCE SCORING

Earning points at B Conference is done by swimming your personal best, and not being disqualified (DQ'd). After the 10th dual meet, each team must present the DSDC every swimmer's "seed time", which is the  personal best time for each event. At B Conference, if a swimmer beats their seed time, they earn points.

The team score is calculated by dividing the number of personal bests by the total number of events swam, then multiplying that number by 100. For example, it a team brings 40 swimmers and each swims 4 events there would be 160 total events swam. If there were 80 personal bests swam, the team score would be (80 Personal Bests/160 Total Events Swum) * 100 = 50 points.

DQs do not reduce the total number of events swam. The number of events swam for each team is  determined after the Coaches scratch meeting. So swimmers: don't miss your event! Swim a clean race, and try your hardest!

Teams are then ranked by the calculated values described above.

Teams in the White Division are awarded points as follows:
1st place   11 points
2nd place   7 points
3rd place   5 points
4th place   3 points
5th place   1 point


All the B Conference points are carried over to A Conference and will be added to each team's total points.
