HOW WILL THE SERIES BE SCORED?
All participating clubs will be divided into three divisions based on historical age group rankings and team size. For each of the three divisions, a leaderboard consisting of the top-8 teams will be released every Wednesday. At the conclusion of the series, each division will crown a Series Team Champion.
Because many pools are still closed, clubs will not be restricted by course. As some clubs will be swimming SCY, SCM, and LCM, the virtual series will use the FINA Points formula to normalize times across courses. The normalized times will be used to rank and score events 1st through 16th for each division, age group, and gender.
- 1st: 20 pts
- 2nd: 17 pts
- 3rd: 16 pts
- 4th: 15 pts
- 5th: 14 pts
- 6th: 13 pts
- 7th: 12 pts
- 8th: 11 pts
- 9th: 9 pts
- 10th: 7 pts
- 11th: 6 pts
- 12th: 5 pts
- 13th: 4 pts
- 14th: 3 pts
- 15th: 2 pts
