How is a swim meet scored?
Dual meet scores are determined as follows:
Individual Events: Relay Events*:
1st place = 4 points 1st place = 5 points
2nd place = 2 points 2nd place = 3 points
3rd place = 1 point 3rd place = 1 point
* A team may only score 2 relays in a regular-season meet (the rule is different for post- season meets such as the Divisional Championship). If a team comes in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, points will only be awarded for 1st and 2nd place relays.
Championship meet (Divisionals, Invitationals if applicable) scores are determined as follows:
Individual and Relay Events:
1st place = 9 points
2nd place = 7 points
3rd place = 6 points
4th place = 5 points
5th place = 4 points
6th place = 3 points
7th place = 2 points
8th place = 1 point
