Psych Sheets

Many meet hosts will generate and distribute a Psych Sheet report before a meet.  The psych sheet contains the list of swimmers in each event with their respective seed times.  Seed times typically reflect a swimmer's personal best time when the entries were submitted..  The swimmers in each event are then sorted by their seed times, where the fasted seeded swimmer gets listed first.  From the report's name, one supposedly gets either psych'd or psych'd out, while viewing it depending on where they rank.

Psych sheets are fun to look at, as one can see where their swimmer ranks in each of their events.  The reports have particular meaning to those who swim in a fair number of meets.  Familiar names appear, perhaps those raced in the past ... friends, foes and friendly foes.

The Sandpiper team just released the psych sheet for their Sandpiper Pumpkin Invitational, to be held this weekend.  See where the DART swimmers rank among the Las Vegas teams.  Click here to take a look.
