O'Fallon Torpedoes Swim Team

Results

• Swimmers’ times are collected on lane timer stopwatches
• None of the times are official until processed by the admin official(s) and posted
• DISQUALIFICATION: If a swimmer is disqualified, they will not receive an official time for that event. DQ is the abbreviation for “disqualification.” At most meets, a swimmer can be disqualified from an event if a start, stroke, turn, or finish is not properly performed according to the rules. DQ’s are a natural part of a swimmer’s development, it happens to just about everyone at some point. Try not to let a DQ upset you too much. Learn from your mistake and you’ll likely swim legal next time.
  • If you have questions about the DQ, do not talk to the official. The swimmer should talk to their coach.
• Other Codes:
  • NS is the abbreviation for No Show and is applied when a swimmer was scheduled to swim but no times were recorded
• Place: An athlete’s placement in the results is determined by their official time. All the competitors from every heat in the event will be scored together and placed according to time.
  • NOTE: If you disagree with your swimmer’s official time or placement, talk to your coach.
  • The St. Charles County Summer Swim Team League awards points to each team for 1st through 6th place finishes according to the following tables:

Ribbons
