Ribbon Order Reminder from Abby McFerron
HI RMSL, Thank you to the teams who have submitted their ribbon orders. This is your friendly reminder that your team orders are due next Wednesday, March 1st. The information is below:
Directions:
- On the Google sheet enter your ribbon order request on the 2023 tab (there are tabs at the bottom that describe what teams ordered in the past to help you assess what you may need this year; there is also a tab with historical averages).
- IMPORTANT: Orders need to be in increments of 100 ribbons
- The total amount will be calculated on the far right.
- We will place the order to get the bulk rate of .25 cents per ribbon and we will also front the cost for the deposit.
- When the ribbon orders are ready (I’ll send out an email), each team will pick up their own order and pay your invoice directly to Crown Trophy at 1099 West Littleton Blvd., Littleton, CO 80120
Guidelines for ordering:
*A dual swim meet has 22 relays and 68 individual events.
*Each relay gets four ribbons, and each individual gets one.
*A dual meet requires 156 ribbons per place, per event (88 relays plus 68 individual).
*If you award ribbons for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, there are 468 (3x156) ribbons required per meet.
*Because most teams (on average) will win half the ribbons in a meet, divide 468 ribbons by 2 and you get 234 ribbons per team.
*If you have five meets you would need 1,170 ribbons to distribute among 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.
Lastly, all ribbons will say “Swim Meet” instead of “Dual Meet” so you can use for the tri meets as well.
Any questions, call or email Abby at 303-261-2251 or
Thank you and I look forward to a great season and meeting all of you!
Abby McFerron
