MEET ENTRY POLICY/PROCEDURE
Swimmers will only be able to enter swim meets if their account balances are up to date and less than 30 days past due wit a credit card on file..
NON-CVST HOSTED MEETS
The procedure for the entry policy works as follows: Information on a given meet will be posted on the CVST Web Site with a CVST Sign-up Deadline. It will then be the responsibility of the Parent/Swimmer to sign-up for the meet on the web site prior to the posted CVST Sign-up Deadline, if the deadline is not met, that the swimmer will not be entered in that meet. If a swimmer is not entered and the Meet Entry Deadline has not passed and the host team is still taking entries, that swimmer may be entered in the meet, but will be charged a Late Entry Fee of $15.00. In the event a meet is cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled, it is the responsibility of the swimmer or the swimmer’s parents to notify the
Coaching Staff of that swimmer’s intentions of swimming in the meet. This must be done by the Monday immediately following the originally scheduled meet. It is the Meet’s Host Club that will decide on any refunds that may be given.
Signing up to swim in a meet on the web site, does not mean that the swimmer will be entered in that meet. Swimmers are always entered in meets at the discretion of the Coaching Staff, and the final decision on events swum in meets is also at the discretion of the Coaching Staff. Once meet entries have been completed, they will uploaded to the CVST
Web Site. It is the responsibility of the swimmer and his/her parents to check the entries on-line, prior to the meet’s entry deadline, for any mistakes and or omissions, and to also notify the Coaching Staff prior to the entry deadline if there are any.
CVST HOSTED & CHAMPIONSHIP MEETS
CVST Hosted Meets (For example: Friday Night at the Races, CVST Blue/Green Meet, PCL Home Meets, CVST Invitational, Tampa Bay Swim Classic, Speedo Boys & Girls Club National Championships), Junior Olympics, Senior Championships, Sectionals, Zones, US Open, Junior and National Championships are considered “Automatic Entry Meets” and those swimmers who qualify for these meets are automatically entered at the discretion of the Coaching Staff, unless notified, in writing or on the CVST web sites sign-up page, for that meet, that the swimmer will not be available for the meet. If done on the web site, a reason must be typed into the comment box to ensure that the swimmer is not entered. This must be done by that meet’s Registration Deadline, which is also posted on the CVST web site. If this is not done, the swimmer will be responsible for the full entry fees incurred by the team.
