ALL-STAR PRESENTATION
ALL-STAR PRESENTATION
There will be a 30 minute break after Event 20 (500 Free) for the All-Star Presentation. Nominations for ALL Stars are asked to come to the Pool Deck, entering the deck via the north stairway(GOLD wall) and the bottom of the stairs. ALL STARS will be announced per team in alphabetical order and walk across the bulkhead and stop mid-way to take a picture. Then STOP under the scoreboard to come back.
NOTE: We did this after event 20 to allow ALL STARS plenty of time to get to designated spots ON TIME. We will NOT delay for people who can not get to the spot on time. THIS is on you or them. SO TALK TO your nominees.
