First place gets 20 points, second 19, third 18, and it keeps dropping by one down to 1 point for twentieth. If a swimmer is disqualified, they get 0.

When it is all added up, the leagues shuffle. The bottom four teams in Division 1 go to Division 2 next year. The top four teams in Division 2 move up to Division 1.

The County Team Championships is split into two divisions. Division 1 typically has 20 teams, while Division 2 has up to 20.

The event takes place in two short-course (25m) pools at the same time – one for Division 1 races, the other for Division 2.

There will be two heats for each event on the schedule with heats in Division 2 starting about 20 seconds after those of Division 1.

The heats for individual races will be seeded according to entry times but the team events will be randomly drawn. 

Individual events are contested over three age groups – 12/13 Yrs, 14/15 Yrs and 16/17 Yrs. There are 100m Freestyle, 100m Backstroke, 100m Butterfly and 100m Breaststroke events for each age group, with one swimmer competing from each county.

There will also be 4x50m Medley Relays held for each age group, as well as a mixed 6x50m Freestyle Relay. The mixed relay consists of teams made up of one open/male and one female from each age group.
