LAST DAY FOR "120 DAY RULE FOR FLAGS EXEMPTION" IS WEDNESDAY JUNE 26TH

Dear Coaches & Administrators,

Please remember that the application for exemption to the 120 Day Rule for 2013 LCM FLAG participation is due this Wednesday, June 26.

In order to accommodate swimmers who transfer into the Florida LSC within the 120 day window, transfer swimmers may apply for an exemption of the 120 day rule provided they petition the Eligibility Committee (defined in this situation as the Age Group Committee plus the Head Meet Referee for FLAGS) and provide proof of permanent residence within LSC boundaries by the athlete and their parent/guardian.

-          Proof of residence requires copies of all of the following documents:

1.       Florida Driver’s License

2.       Florida Vehicle registration

3.       Notarized statement from the parent/guardian as to the reason for transfer

Petitions must be submitted to Helen Kelly no later than two weeks prior to the entry deadline (June 26, 2013 at 11:59 pm) for the Age Group Championship Meet.  The Eligibility Committee as defined above will meet in person or via conference call and rule on the petitions.  The petitioner will be notified of the decision no less than one week prior  (by July 3, 2013) to the entry deadline for the meet.  

Sincerely,

Dale Porter
