These 75% of splashes are guaranteed entry into the meet. Teams that are included in the 75% of guaranteed entries must submit their entry and payment to the host team no later than 7 calendar days before the first date of entries, or the host team may remove them from the 75% of guaranteed entries and will report them to the Board of Review. The host team can release this liability if it is able to fill the meet with entries from other teams. If the host team under-estimates the entries for the 75% of guaranteed entries, the host team must cut swimmers or entries from their own team first, and then follow the entries cut procedure in the meet announcement. The remaining 25% of entries will be open for other teams to submit entries. Entry acceptance will open at 12:00 AM on the first date of entries. Entries received on or before the first day of acceptance (up until 11:59 pm local time) shall be considered received at the same time. If the meet becomes oversubscribed, a lottery will be conducted by the New England Swimming office to determine the sequence that the tied teams will be accepted into the meet. The New England Swimming office will share the results of the lottery with all teams participating in the lottery. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE: The entries for this meet will be first come first serve.
