by

Here is the bid packet for submitting meet bids for the 2023-24 short course season. It includes both the Meet Bid Framework and the Meet Bid Form.

Meet Bid Framework

The meet bid framework provides dates of notable meets, including sectional and national events, and indicates closed weekends during the 2023-24 short course season.

Meet Bid Form

The meet bid form is the method for submitting your meet bids to the meet scheduling committee. Simply complete and submit a form for each of your club’s meet bids.  Please note the closed weekends when submitting bids.

Completing the Meet Bid Form

The meet bid form allows the Meet Scheduling committee to gather and provide clubs with complete and consistent meet information. The form is divided into three sections:

1.      Basic Meet Information (dates, host club, meet name, location, etc.)

2.      Meet Type (meet type, course type, meet category, age group)

3.      Meet Fees (individual fees, relay fees, facility fees, travel fund, parking, other)

Meet bids submitted will automatically populate the2023-24 Short Course Bid Schedule posted on the NCS website. Here, you can view what you’ve submitted.
