Rules for
Award Qualification

The Longevity Award plaque recognizes officially recorded Bay Swim
completions. This means that your name needs to be associated
with a finishing time and a finishing place in the official Bay Swim results for each
applicable year of record from 1986 to present. Paying the entry fee and not showing up or participating
in the event and not finishing do not qualify as a completion.
For example, there are no records for the hundreds of swimmers who
were pulled out of the water in 1991 and 1992.If
your name appears above, you have already satisfied the qualifications and you need to do
nothing beyond completing another Bay Swim. The appropriate
Longevity Award plaque will be presented to you after you
finish your next GCBS.
To find out how many GCBS completions are recorded under your name, download and search
the PDF files at the top of this web page. If you believe there is an error in these
records, contact:
bayswim@gmail.com
(subject line of email: "GCBS Award Correction"). Please do not hassle the
Bay Swim Director or Lin-Mark Sports Inc. — they do not have these records. In order to
allow time for making the award, please submit award
correction requests before May 1st.
In order for a correction to be made, you need to be specific about the error.
For example, please provide the year, time, and place information that you believe is in
error. Such details can be found here.
A common correction may be a name change associated with a marriage. There could also
have been misspellings, mismatches due to common last names (e.g.,
Smith or Miller), or other glitches in the official results. Errors could have
also occurred upon transcribing the results to the electronic records
for this web site.
If substantiated, these GCBS Archives records will be happily corrected.
Hard copies of the original Bay Swim results as provided by the Race
Director are on
file for all prior years back to 1986. They will be used to settle any
disputes. If anyone has copies of the official results for the
Bay Swim events conducted by Fletcher Hanks or by Brian Earley in 1984 and 1985, please
provide them (bayswim@gmail.com) and the data will be added these Archives (with a big "thank
you").
Accounting practices and record keeping were not as rigorous in the early years of the
Bay Swim as they have been in recent years. There is a small chance that a swimmer may
have completed a Bay Swim over a decade ago that did not make it onto the official record
of the event. Unless you can provide evidence of the error (e.g., a letter from
Fletcher Hanks; case in point), such claims cannot be substantiated
at this late time. Sorry, but you needed to sort out such mistakes with the race
officials at the time. |
