I'd think Colonies Zone would be flattered that it has become so popular. It's disappointing that relatively few seem to agree.
It's not. The distance events are fixed, so the same number of swimmers attend on Friday. Because of the time trialing blitz, events on Saturday and Sunday will be less popular and the meet as a whole less popular. That's what Chris was referring to above as the negative ripple effect.
I'm in favor of Team Z attending meets, including Zones. I'm in favor of Team Z hosting meets. I'm in favor of Team Z doing OW swims. I'm not in favor of them intentionally preventing pool swimmers or any other team from competing in a championship meet when the UMBC meet (or practice time) was available for time trialing.
