Harrington Falls Hammerheads

Place Judge

Each team will provide a place judge. The judges must, in all events and at all times, command a clear view of the race and finish line. The judges are to judge the place finishes as they see them. The judges are to write the place finish on their updated copy of the meet program. At the end of the race, the judge's recorder will copy that order of the finish on the UK Judges Placing Form. The place judges override the times, and the starter/referee overrides the place judges if there is a dispute. 

4 Volunteers per HOME MEET/ 2 Volunteers per AWAY MEET

Timers 

At all meets times shall be taken on each lane. Each team shall provide two timers for each of their team's lanes. In a five-lane pool, the home team will provide two timers for the fifth lane. One of the timers will operate the watch, and the other will record the times on the lane timer worksheet. In all events, at all times, the timer must have a clear view of the race and finish line. The timer will stop the watch immediately when any part of the swimmer's body touches the solid end of the pool. 

12 Volunteers per HOME MEET/ depending on the needs of the other team

Judges Recorder

The home team will supply a judge's recorder. This person will place himself/herself behind the place judges with their own copy of the UK Judges Placing Form. When the race is finished, and the judges and ASA referee have ruled on the place finishes, he/she will record the places in the appropriate block on the UK Judges Placing Form. For swimmers who have been disqualified by the referee, the judge's recorder will write "DQ" in the place block for that swimmer. The judge's recorder passes the completed UK Judges Placing Form to the Master Recorder. The Judges Recorder has no say in the order of finish and should not attempt to influence the place judges. 

2 Volunteer per HOME MEET

Master Recorder (only needed at an AWAY Meet with No Timing System)

Each team will provide a Master Recorder. The master recorder collects the UK Judges Placing Form from the Judge's Recorder when the event is complete, and all places have been recorded. The Master Recorder will then go to each lane and record each swimmer's time in the Time Column of the UK Judges Placing Form as noted by the recording timer. With all places and times recorded, the master recorder will deliver the completed UK Judges Placing Form to either the Runner or the Computer Operator. 

2 Volunteers per HOME MEET

Ribbons

Ribbon volunteers will be responsible for placing the completed ribbon labels on the appropriate award and placing them into the file for each swimmer in the team file box.
