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.
Having looked at the top times for the whole US in Ion's age group in 100 yard free there is a total of 293 and he ranks at 170. This means as he stated their a lot of folks out there that don't make the NQ's times and his age group and gender is far more competive than others. In my age group the 45-49 year old women there were only 111. in the 100 yard free. Why there are some many male swimmers in the 40 to 44 age group everyone can discuss out there. Anyway, it just shows that his age group is a lot more difficult than the others.
