1) First Entries Posted!
Entries have already started arriving and we have posted the early entries on 
the meet web page.  We will continue to process entries in a timely manner, so 
check to see if your entry has been processed, notify us of any errors, and 
check the ‘problems list’ to make sure you’re not on there!  


2) T-shirt design posted
Preview the meet T-shirt design on the meet web page.  Thanks to Jenny Luker 
for the concept and to Jacki Hirsty for doing the artwork on this year’s meet 
T-shirt.  


3) NELMSC 25-Meter Pool Tabulations 
http://www.greatbaymasters.org/scmchamps.php
Check the above link (center section of web page) for tabulations of New 
England LMSC swimmer’s times.  See if you rank in the all-time top 50 in any 
event; look at New England records; view all relays ever swum; view all swims 
by name; check out the new “rating” factor – see your strongest swim by 
rating; check the New England swimmers who are current National and World 
record holders; and more…. 


4) More on Awards
In addition to expanding the USMS club awards to the 10th place, we are also 
changing the nature of the awards.  We are switching from a physical award 
banner to a ‘virtual’ banner.  Many pools don’t allow banners to be 
displayed.  Instead we will provide a .JPG file of the banner artwork suitable 
of posting on each club / group’s web page.  In addition we will also provide 
a plaque to the top 10 USMS clubs and NEM Workout groups.
