Relay Takeoff Practice
Description of relay takeoff dual confirmation practice consistent with USA Swimming guidance applicable to GRAL meets:
Relay Takeoff Practice
Relay Takeoff Judging Dual Confirmation Forms
Relay takeoff judging dual confirmation forms for event 1 (8 & under relay) for up to four heats:
Event 1 Form for 6-Lane Pool
Event 1 Form for 8-Lane Pool
These forms include the position assignment, and do not include the space on which to mark for the exchanges that won’t be observed by the judge on the end matching the position assignment on the form (but all lanes are included on all forms). All the forms are on one document. If only two heats are to be swum, the first two pages should be printed; each page number matches the heat number. After printing the document, eight staples, one on the top of each form before cutting makes the cutting easier. The stapled forms keep the set in order, and at GRAL meets, they would typically not be separated before delivery to the Referee. If only two judges are available at each end, half the forms would not be used.
General blank relay takeoff dual judging confirmation forms (same format as above
for event 1):
General Relay Form for 6-Lane Pool
General Relay Form for 8-Lane Pool
Relay takeoff judging dual confirmation forms for events 52-55 (all heats on one sheet):
Events 52-55 Form for 6-Lane Pool
Events 52-55 Form for 8-Lane Pool
These are takeoff judging forms in a compact all-heats-on-one-sheet format. This format makes the comparison review by the Referee at the end of the meet much easier. These forms have lane one on the right side, typical of USA style lane numbering. Typically four sheets should be printed for each meet, but if only two judges looking across all lanes are available, only two sheets would be used. These forms include space for event 1, so they can be used for event 1 instead of the traditional smaller forms mentioned above, but then twice as many of these forms would be required.
Reverse order relay takeoff judging dual confirmation forms for events 52-55 (all heats on one sheet):
Reverse Order Events 52-55 Form for 6-Lane Pools
Reverse Order Events 52-55 Form for 8-Lane Pool
These takeoff judging forms can be used at six or eight lane pools that have the lane numbers in reverse order with lane one on the swimmers left.
