6. The top 8 individual and relay scoring places will be awarded points as follows:

• When entering the swimmer, enter them as normal in the events in which they wish to swim and then decide on the events in which you wish the swimmer to score.  On events where they are not to score tick the box marked “EXH” for those events.   Please remember that swimmers can only score in two events. This will also apply to relays but only one relay can score.
