Indianapolis made a bid for a short course yards meet. The House of Delegates voted on a short course yards meet. It would require a vote of the House to change it from a yards to a meters meet.

R-3 the Rule proposal was voted down by the House. I would guess it lost 40% to 60%
I would have liked to have won on that vote, but in real terms I thought we would have gotten only a third of the vote, so we did a little better than I thought we would.
In the Sunday morning review, the delegates said that they did not have enough time in their committees to do the work that needed to be done. Championship Committee had two extra meeting over their scheduled meetings - the two meeting went on to after 11pm.
The House decided that it wants to schedule an HOD meeting to listen to the different venues bidding for the Championships. This year's HOD meeting was one and a half hours long. If the House is looking for extra time, one place is the HOD meeting for Championship bids.

I disagree with having any sc meters championships in December. At one time, the December meet made sense because that was an "open" season. When the rules changed that gave everyone a birthday in January, it now makes sense to have meters meets early in the year. Why should US swimmers wait almost a year when the rest of the World is swimming?
