It's much easier to crash CZ for time trialing
That's the part that makes me uneasy.
I have no problem with anyone entering the meet without previous results; we all have to start somewhere, right? But surely by encouraging that number of people to immediately sign up for the space-limited events, the coaches (or whoever) had to have known they would be blocking nearly everyone else from the event. It strikes me as piggy-backing on the work someone else has gone through organizing the meet for the zone. I would think that if they wanted all of those people to have a pool time for the 1000 or mile the right thing to do would have been to host a distance meet themselves.
