2020 Cumbria ASA Virtual Diddy Competition
As outlined in the information given a few days ago in the 'Return to Competition', Cumbria ASA will be running a virtual Diddy Competition
starting on November 1st and lasting until December 16th based upon some of the concepts in the forthcoming Swim England Level X Racing. This is the first step by Cumbria ASA at providing competitive opportunities for our swimmers. This will be a 'one-off' competition to give swimmers something to work towards and to test the concept of virtual competition; if it is successful then we would aim to run something bigger and better in the New Year.
The reason we have chosen the Diddy League as the basis for 'dipping our toe in the water' is that the administrative side of holding this competition does not require too much development. As will be seen, many of the normal concepts that we are all used to for competition have been suspended.
The competition rules are given in this link Virtual Diddy Competition Rules but these are some of the salient points.
This competition will use the usual Diddy League programme of events. It is intention that this programme will be swum over several weeks during normal club training sessions thus creating a number of opportunities to complete all of the events and hopefully not putting too much pressure on club activities.
The 'racing' should only be for those swimmers who usually swim at a particular session. Swimmers should complete a short warm up and then complete the events that have been chosen for that session.
If because of local risk assessments/Covid restrictions it is not possible to swim a complete relay event with successive takeovers in one lane, then it is permissible to take the times of individual legs and add them together and submit this as the declared time for that event.
The pool must remain compliant with the current pool risk assessement. (A link is given in the rules to the latest Swim England guidance that was available when the rules were written.)
Clubs may enter more than one team and this can include Category 1 and Category 2 swimmers but a swimmer should only compete for only one team.
The programme of events is broken up into weekly 'blocks' and hopefully each team can complete the events in that block each week. Clubs will be provided with an Excel spreadsheet on which to record the times for each event. Clubs are asked to submit the spreadsheet with their results on a weekly basis (each Monday) to the Diddy League secretary (Sam Bell) who will compile the 'league table' and this will be published on this website later in that week. However, if a club cannot complete all the events in a particular week they should still send in their results, and then try to catch up on the outstanding events in the following week. Clubs should stick to the events in a specified block/week i.e. they do not swim, say, events 19 to 24 in the first block.
One of the important points with Level X Racing is to limit the number of volunteers on the poolside; we are using this guidance and as such only require a starter and an official to verify the results (who can be qualified at any level) and timekeepers (who only need to be Swim England members). However, if clubs wish to use qualified officials, who may not have been on poolside for many months and who wish to get back into action, they are clearly they are free to do so.
It would be very useful if clubs could let Sam Bell know how many teams they will be entering as soon as possible so that their results spreadsheet can be tailored appropriately.
If there are any queries please contact Sam Bell, Martin Tickner, Mark Ralph or Keith Chisholm
