aggregate points and the handicap system applied.
Handicap procedures will be in place to assist smaller clubs attending in competing equally with larger

Points allocated will be 10 points (1st), 5 points (2nd), and 3 points (3rd). All other swimmers in each heat will
earn 1 point for their respective club.
Handicap points will be determined by the simple method of dividing the number of nominated swimmers
from a club into the number of points earned for that particular club. ie. If a club has earned 50 points and
has 10 swimmers, then that club’s overall points for the day will be 5.
