The Unique Scoring System:
Here’s where it gets intriguing. Unlike traditional dual meets, this challenge features a unique scoring system. Each individual race consists of three head-to-head matchups, with the winner of each earning one point. The overall winner of the race earns an additional point. This means every swim counts, and every point matters. We’ll be listing results from 1st to 6th, with an asterisk (*) next to the swimmers who won their head-to-head matchups.
