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.
Good afternoon,
Some very valid points within the scope of conversation.
A point to ponder. If we want USMS to grow, and people to compete in meets then we need to start thinking about the planning of our expanding demographics and stay within the objective of USMS.
My point to all this is that the NQT's need to be looked at. The questions then becomes wether to raise them to include more swimmers at Nationals, or lower them to keep meets smaller.
My intent is to try to provide as many opportunities to any swimmer at any level.
Them's me thinks!
Thank you.
