Enforcement of NQT's for National Championships

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.

    Sorry Cynthia, didn't even play water polo in High School (as a matter of fact my High School didn't have a swim team or a water polo team). As for Ion, following your rhetoric I would be justified in petitioning the PGA in order to play on the tour with Tiger Woods. The reason he is better than me is because he has the unfair advantage of learning to play when he was a few years old while I was in my teens when I started playing golf. Since I had such a late start my golf VO2 max is not as developed as his. Ion your times are improving, have to assume the new coaching program is working, so enough with the age group swimming conspiracy theories. Jeff
