Great turnout, fast times, even a National Record, but terriblly run meet.
They ran out of tee shirts and awards. Positive checkin was a joke. People were denied entry into the 500 and in the end had at least 16 empty lanes. There was a 45 minute unexplained break after heat 2 of the Mens 100 yard back. I think the timing system went down. Okay, but at least make an announcement. I think one of the officials sleept through the 200 breststroke. C'mon ILMSA lets get it together for next year.
Aqua Velva, sorry that you had a bad meet experience.
I thought that the meet was run pretty well overall. Having the results posted already is outstanding. There were certainly quite a number of fast swims and exciting races.
I did not hear about running out of T-shirts and awards. I wonder if there is any chance that some arrangement can be made to make the awards available to those who didn't get them. Not sure that this would be possible, though.
The delay in the 100 back to fix the timing system was not good, but as Matt stated something that needed to be corrected.
I don't have any suggestions for improving on the positive check-in. No one likes to see empty lanes, especially toward the end of the meet. I don't know how that could be fixed. I'm sure all suggestions will be welcome.
I'd like to thank the organizers for all their hard work preparing for and running the meet. This was an enormous amount of work and I thought well done.
