To host a distance meet you'd almost need a free pool rental or a deeply discounted pool rental fee to cover your costs. If you figure you can do 2 heats an hour for the 1650 and have only one course, that means 16 swimmers per hour. Your entry fee would have to be rather steep.
Thats what I meant with an earlier post in regards to a meet fee as opposed to a meet/event fee. This would help ensure that distance swimmers help cover the cost of the meet as opposed to the sat/sun meet entrants subsidizing people who only sign up for the more expensive distance day. We all know pool time is not cheap. Its important we keep these good meets financially viable.
If I were a meet director I would be concerned of the impact, financially, if I were near a group that could potentially mob a distance day and not support the rest of the meet.
