Z1S MEETS & SANCTIONS

Z1S Meets

2026-2027 Zone meet schedule and assigned teams

Z1S General Meet Criteria                 - Criteria to be followed in your meet

X-Y-Z Swim Formats                         - The events that must be included when an X, Y, or Z format must be followed.

See the "Policies & Procedures" section on the left column for information about the bidding process, what must be done to make changes to meets, or to sign up to host meets that are still available.

The concept of the X, Y, Z format is to define a minimum set of events that have to be included in the meet.  More events may be added.  The purpose is to guarantee that  all strokes are covered over a sequence of three meets.  The schedule tries to assign an X, Y, or Z meet in rotation.  In other words, the first meet on the schedule would use the X format, the second meet would by Y format, the third meet would be Z format, the fourth meet would be back to X format, the fifth meet would be Y format, etc.

 

Sanction Process for Z1S Meets

70-90 days before a meet, the Zone 1 South Sanctions Chair sends the meet director an email notification about his/her upcoming meet.  Included in the email is the meet sheet template to be used, the Zone 1 South Meet Criteria document, as well as the Swim Format document.

Once the meet sheet is completed, the Meet Director sends it to their Head Referee and to the Z1S Sanctions Chair for review and approval, making any changes that they require.  (Contact the Z1S Officials Chair for the name of your Head Referee.)

After the Z1S Sanctions Chair and Head Referee approve the meet sheet, the Z1S Sanctions Chair sends it to Pacific Swimming for review and approval.

If there are any changes or suggestions from Pacific Swimming, they are reviewed.  The Meet Director makes updates and requests approval from the Z1S Head Referee and Sanctions Chair.  After approval, the Z1S Sanctions Chair sends the meet sheet to Pacific Swimming once again for sanction.

Pacific Swimming sends the Meet Director a sanction number and meet information, copying the Z1S Sanctions Chair.
