2024 MEN’S NCAA SWIMMING AND DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS
The pre-cut entry sheets for the 2024 NCAA Males’s Division I Swimming & Diving Championships have been launched.
These sheets don’t present who will likely be invited to the meet. As a substitute, they present us what occasions swimmers have chosen to swim as they’re restricted to a most of three people and 4 relays or two people and all 5 relays. Swimmers with a “B” reduce had been allowed to be entered into the listing, though the boys’s cutline usually falls round line 30. It was in the course of line 30 final yr, in line 31 in 2022, 33 in 2021, and 29 in 2020. Full invite procedures might be seen under.

Right here’s a step-by-step course of for the way the NCAA selects the 270 males and 322 girls for annually’s invite listing:
1. 35 of the boys’s spots and 41 of the ladies’s spots are put aside for divers, who qualify for the meet at zone competitions nearer the NCAA Championships. That leaves 235 males’s spots and 281 for the ladies.
2. Each “A” reduce put up this season is added.
3. The following quickest swimmers in every occasion are added till each occasion has the identical variety of entries. For instance, if the 50 free had been to have probably the most “A” cuts of any occasion with 10, then each different occasion would get swimmers with the highest 10 quickest instances in.
4. Lastly, one entry is added to every occasion to maintain the entries per occasion even. This course of is repeated till all the swimming spots (235 for males, 281 for girls) are stuffed. Remember that as extra rows are added, swimmers will begin to double and triple up. The #1 seed within the 200 again is likely to be the #15 seed within the 100 again – because the fifteenth row of swimmers is added to every occasion, she’ll be added to the 100 again listing, however gained’t take up one other one of many 281 invite spots, as she already has her official invite.
5. The ultimate row of swimmers added gained’t come out precisely even. Within the ultimate row, the swimmers with entry instances closest to the NCAA “A” reduce will get added first, and when the 235th man or 281st girl is added, the method stops. So the 100 fly might have 38 girls and the 200 fly 39 girls – that may imply the thirty ninth 200 flyer was nearer to the NCAA “A” than the thirty ninth 100 flyer and due to this fact gained the ‘tie-breaker’ for the ultimate spot.
