Scoring for Dual Meets
As determined by the Country Club Swim League, scoring of Dual Meets is as follows.
Only individual swimmers and relay teams in Heat 1 may score points for their team, however, we intentionally celebrate every victory with our swimmers. Whether a swimmer is in Heat 1 or Heat 6, a win feels good. Each athlete is on their own journey and we aim to have them learn more with each meet.
Individual Events:
- 1st - 5 points
- 2nd - 3 points
- 3rd - 1 point
*Note* In the event of a tie, the points of the two places in question are added up and then divided evenly between the two teams. For example, if there is a tie for first place, each team receives 4 points (1st place scores 5+3 points for 2nd place, divided by 2 teams equals 4 points per team). The next place is awarded 3rd place points.
Relays: (only one relay per team may score points)
- 1st - 7 points
- 2nd - 4 points
*Note: No team can score first and second place points in a relay event. If one team takes first and second place in a relay event; the opposing team can receive second place points in the relay, as long as they have a relay or swimmer legally complete the race. However, the team can receive both first and second place ribbons for the relay. Because no team may "sweep" and take all points in relays, it is vital that we have our Resilient Rays (swimmers who volunteer to swim up in order to gain points for the team)!
Exhibition Events: Do not score points

Each swimmer is allowed to enter only TWO individual events and TWO relays.
Individual Events:
- 1st - 6 points
- 2nd - 4 points
- 3rd - 3 points
- 4th - 2 points
- 5th - 1 point
UNLIKE dual meets, only ONE individual can score points for their team! For that reason, it is important that we have at least one Stingray in every CCSL event in order to score. This is why our Resilient Rays and alternates are vital to this team.
Relays: (only one relay per team may score points)
- 1st - 12 points
- 2nd - 8 points
- 3rd - 6 points
- 4th - 4 points
- 5th - 2 points
Again, only one relay and individual per club can score points. If a second person/relay places in the top 5 they will receive any according awards for that swim, but the points will go to the next highest placing club’s highest placing relay.
