Please read the TECHNICAL RULE below for fines that can be applied for CHAMPIONSHIP AND CLASSICS scratches.  This is the reason why INTENT TO SWIM is so important and confirmed.  If you have questions, please contact Michelle Grubb ASAP.

Swimmers must declare their intent to swim in Championships and Classics IN ADVANCE of their Divisional
swim meet in accordance with SAIL policy. No change can be made after the start of the divisional meet.
SCRATCH FINES: A swimmer who is a late scratch at either the Championship or Classic meets for other than
a valid reason, as determined by the sole discretion of the C&C Meet Director (physical, death in the family,
etc.), will be fined $50.00 per individual event and $100.00 per relay event payable to the League. Scratches
reported prior to Championships and Classics meets being finalized will be fined $25.00 for any event. The
meet will be finalized at 10 am on the Wednesday following divisionals. The responsibility for the fine is on the
team. Failure to pay said fine(s) by February meeting of the next year on the part of the team makes that team
and all its members ineligible to participate in SAIL until all fines are paid. This fine does not apply to alternates
who have not been called by Thursday night. Moving a swimmer or relay from Championships to Classics is
optional for the swimmer or relay if notified after 5 pm on the day before Championships. (SAIL TECHNICAL RULE: 2.7)
