Colonies Zone SCY Championships - Fairfax VA

Right now it costs $25 to swim Friday nite distance day but charge a meet fee of $45 and they might think twice before they sign up and if they do the event will at least get a little more revenue out of them. Do you mean charge a meet fee of $45 for everybody, or charge extra to swim the 1650/1000? The latter makes more sense to me than the former. It's a thought, though it isn't clear to me that the triathlon crowd, who drop $500 to enter some events, will be deterred by a $20 increase. You can have a lottery (like the Chesapeake Bay Swim) rather than making it first-come, first-serve. It isn't clear to me if the people chosen to swim the 1650 would be considered lottery winners or losers (again like the Bay Swim). Call the Friday events the "Hunger Games" part of the meet. (Actually the lottery thing was a real suggestion not a joke, though I'll allow it is hard to tell the difference.)
