I, too, am extremely disappointed that the distance events filled up in 24 hours when the meet is 2 1/2 months away. I know this happened once before. If we can't find a solution, I believe it will impact the meet as a whole. I always plan to swim the 1000 at Zones and the 1650 at nationals. Now i will have to go to another meet to get the 1000 in. Should I still go to zones, or should I substitute the other meet? Our team usually has a large contingent and lots of relays, but this could change.
My proposal for a possible solution. Because it is a championship meet, everyone entering distance must submit the date and location of the USMS meet where they achieved their entry time. This would eliminate someone from doing their first USMS distance event at this meet. I think this would eliminate some of the entries. However, I'm curious as to what others think.
