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.
Does anyone think that CJR (and about any man in the younger age groups) makes USMS NQTs, as stated in:

I would like to see the name of the first man in the group 40 to 44 who makes NQTs with 100% training in USMS and 0% training from pre-adult.

When looking at the results of the 2003 USMS Short Course Nationals for the 100 freestle, I proclaim that:
#1 John Smith 46.40 is not a late starter (he swam in college the 200 free in a fast 1:35);
#2 Paul Smith 47.05 is not a late starter (he competed in the U.S. Olympic Trials in the 80s);
#3 David Boatwright 48.01 is not a late starter;
#4 Donald Jennings 48.06 is not a late starter;
#5 Richard Schroeder 48.41 is not a late starter (he competed for U.S. in the 1984 Olympics and the 1988 Olympics);
#6 Michael Fell 48.48 is not a late starter;
#7 Vernon Rogers 48.56 is not a late starter;
#8 Brant Allen 48.71 is not a late starter;
#9 Greg Remmert 49.07 is not a late starter;
#10 Stanley Fujimoto 49.29 is not a late starter;

#59 Ion Beza (myself) 58.40, I am a late starter since I joined my first swimming club at age 28;

Similar results appear in the 2003 USMS Short Course Nationals for the 100 freestle, men ages 30 to 34.

So, no more of the 10 years old David Wharton and 15 years old Rowdy Gaines here: that's entirely different, even when years later they come to win in USMS.
