Saluki INTERNATIONAL
14-16 May 2004
Dear Coaches, Swimmers, and Parents,
The Saluki Swim Club invites you to the Saluki International competition at the Shea Natatorium at Southern Illinois University. This is an excellent early season, indoor, long course event and we hope you can join us.
This year we will be scoring the meet with awards going to the top three teams. All events 200 metres in length or longer will be scored. Individual awards have been eliminated. Instead each athlete attending the meet will receive a commemorative swim cap.
There are slight changes to the event list from last year. A downloadable Team Manager event setup file is available at the Saluki website. We encourage teams to use this file to avoid event entry errors.
Last Fall Saluki began its online only entry process. We were so pleased with the results that the process will now be used exclusively for all Saluki meets. The process is outlined in the meet invitation and we hope that this is just the first step to paper-less (or as paper-less as possible) meets. The process is easy to follow but anyone with questions should feel free to give us a call.
Finally, and also concerning our paper-free revolution, Saluki will no longer be selling psych sheets or heat sheets at the meet. As is mentioned in the meet invitation the full psych sheet will be available online. We will provide both an HTML version for viewing online and a PDF file for anyone who wants to print out their own copy to bring with them.
Entry opens on Thursday, 15 April. We hope to see you in Carbondale this Spring!
Sincerely,
Bill Price Head Coach

ONLINE ONLY ENTRY PROCESS
Saluki only accepts e-mail entries for its meets. The process is described below:
- Events can be entered into Team Manager by hand but teams are encouraged to use the meet event import file available at www.swimsaluki.com to set up the event list in their Team Manager programs.
- After completing the team entry in the Team Manager program the exported entry file is sent to Saluki Swim Club as an e-mail attachment.
Send entries to: meetentry@swimsaluki.com
All entries must be submitted in Team Manager/SDIF
format as e-mail attachments. NO PAPER OR DISK
ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED.
We will help you if this process is unfamiliar however it is ultimately each visiting teams responsibility to send us an entry file that is downloadable into Meet Man-ager.
- We will confirm receipt of all entries by reply e-mail. If you do not receive a confirmation within 24 hours of your electronic submission call Saluki HQ at 618-457-1103. Confirmation of receipt does not mean that your entry is accepted.
- A check for fees and a signed Meet Summary/Release Form must be received within 5 business days after the e-mail submission. Do not send any paper printouts of your entry; they are unnecessary and will be ignored. Upon timely receipt of checks and release forms teams will be notified by e-mail of entry acceptance.
ENTRY TIMES
50m entry times are preferred. However, times for all courses will be accepted. Times that are not long course metres should be clearly marked as to which course they are. Times without a course des-ignation will be treated as long course metre times.
UPDATING ENTRY TIMES
Teams accepted into the meet can update entry times for their ath-letes as often as they want up to the entry deadline. Each update is treated as an original entry submission so it must contain the complete team entry no matter how many athletes are being up-dated. Updates are to be submitted in the same manner as original entries.
