Event selection procedure:

Events will be selected at random one hour before the meet starting time and again before diving begins, by rolling a die. The die will be rolled once for each event type, and this will happen twice each session (six times in total). The interpretation of the die for each session will be as follows:

Session 1- Friday night

A die will be rolled for each of the nine events. If a 1 or 2 is rolled, it will correspond to the shortest distance. If a 3 or a 4 is rolled, it will correspond to the middle-distance event (in the case of the Medley Relay, a 3 or 4 will correspond to the 400 Medley Relay). If a 5 or a 6 is rolled, it will correspond to the longest distance event (in the case of the Medley Relay, a 5 or 6 will correspond to the Mixed 400 Medley Relay).

Session 2- Saturday morning

A die will be rolled for each of the nine events. If a 1, 2 or 3 is rolled, it will correspond to the shortest distance event remaining. If a 4, 5, or 6 is rolled, it will correspond to the longest distance event remaining.

Session 3-Saturday afternoon

All remaining events will be completed. No die will need to be rolled.
