Senior Championship Short Course Announcement was approved with changes.  Major change was language related to check in for Thursday and Sunday distance events. 

For Thursday’s distance events you must positively check in by the scratch deadline or you will be scratched from the event (the deadlines are identical).  For Sunday’s distance events you must positively check in by the stated time.  Failure to do so will result in the swimmer not being seeded into the event.  Any swimmer that does not scratch the event by the scratch deadline (and did not positively check in) will be seeded at “NT”.
