By pitting the state&#8217;s most decorated programs head-to-head in a fast-paced, dual-meet format, this event reimagines what a dual meet looks like and raises the stakes for athletes, coaches, and fans.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each Team will swim a head-to-head dual meet with altered events against another team. Each team will have two dual meets as each bracket will have four teams.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each swimmer can compete in a maximum of two individual events and three total events per dual meet.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher Team Seeds in Lanes 1, 4, 7.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower Team Seeds in lanes 2, 5, 8<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Event One (To be used for seeding purposes and tiebreaker only)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">400 Medley Relay (8&#215;50 with 2 Back, 2 Breast, 2 Fly, 2 Free) The result will determine seeding (first place gets the No.1 seed, second place gets No. 2 seed, and so on. It will also serve as a tiebreaker. If two teams tie at the conclusion of a dual meet, the better seed would be the winner of the dual meet. Only the top four teams in this relay could be the overall Illinois Dual Meet Champion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special Rule for the 400 medley relay Only: A team will be assessed a one-second penalty if there is a false start in the 400 medley relay. If anyone leaves over a half second early, then they get a DQ and finish last. This prevents a strong team from getting a low seed over a slight false start. The preference is to have no false starts in this event! Also, one second penalty per other DQ. Any blatant cheating would result in eighth seed (trying to keep integrity of the meet).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dual Meet Round One (Seeds based off 400 Medley Relay Result)<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 Team Seed vs. 8 Team Seed (Will swim in heat one of each event)\u00a0 <\/span><\/li>\n<li>6 Team Seed vs. 7 Team Seed (Will swim in heat two of each event)<\/li>\n<li>1 Team Seed vs. 4 Team Seed (Will swim in heat three of each event) :<\/li>\n<li>2 Team Seed vs. 3 Team Seed (Will swim in heat four of each event)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Order of Events:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">200 Medley Relay (6 total points available to win, 2 points per matchup 4vs5, 1vs 2, 7vs8)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>100 Free-3 entries (3 points available to win, one point per matchup 4vs5, 1vs2, 7vs8)<\/li>\n<li>100 IM-3 entries (3 points available to win, one point per matchup 4vs5, 1vs2, 7vs8)<\/li>\n<li>100 Fly-3 entries (3 points available to win, one point per matchup 4vs5, 1vs2, 7vs8)<\/li>\n<li>100 Back-3 entries (3 points available to win, one point per matchup 4vs5, 1vs2, 7vs8)<\/li>\n<li>100 Breast-3 entries (3 points available to win, one point per matchup 4vs5, 1vs2, 7vs8)<\/li>\n<li>200 Free Relay\u2013 (6 total points available to win, 2 points per matchup 4vs5, 1vs 2, 7vs8)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Lane Assignments:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lanes 4 and 5 are the one seed for each team (This is a head to head matchup for one point)<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Lanes 1 and 2 are the two seeds for each team (This is a head to head matchup for one point)<\/li>\n<li>Lanes 7 and 8 are the three seeds for each team (This is a head to head matchup for one point)<\/li>\n<li>Lane 3 and 6 will NOT be used for the entire meet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each team gets one point for each seed that wins head to head.
