Has the Championship Committee, or other entity within USMS ever discussed having a more strict policy of enforcement in regards to the NQT's?
Why do we state that you must have 3 cuts, in order to swim more events? Why not require a swimmer to have 6 cuts in order to swim 6 events?
Just like to understand more from a historical point of view. I have read post that asked, or suggested how to control the size and length of the National meets. Would not having a stricter enforcement of this policy help? Or would it cause swimmers to shy away from these meets?
Just a curious thought.
Thank you.
For curiosity reasons, I post that in another world, the world of Olympics, www.swiminfo.com wrote yesterday that the Olympics do enforce now their kind of NQT:
.) if a country has many competitors with the 'Olympic Qualifying Time A' in an event, then that country can send two competitors that made the time 'A' to the Olympics in that event,
.) if a country has at least one competitor with the slower 'Olympic Qualifying Time B' in an event, then that country can send one competitor that made the time 'B' to the Olympics in that event,
.) if a country doesn't have anybody with at least the slower 'Olympic Qualifying Time B' in an event, then the International Oltmpic Commitee decided two days ago that the country doesn't send anylonger a competitor to the Olympics in that event.
The Olympic swimming has a different mission than USMS swimming, though.
