Table Workers -
Sorter: One of the most important positions at the table. It requires a thorough knowledge of the procedures and a cool head. A general knowledge of swimming and its terms is preferred. The sorter determines how swimmers actually placed in each event by "sorting" or determining the order of finish using prescribed procedures.
Recorder: Each team is needed to record the official results of the meet on the Event Sheets.
Scorer: Each team has one scorer who prepares an original and one carbon of the Score Sheet (total of 2 originals and 2 copies). In addition, each scorer is responsible for determining multiple event winners for their own team for publicity purposes.
Ribbon Writer: Each team should have several ribbon writers as this is a very time consuming job if done completely by hand.
