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.
Set aside the NQTs for a moment. If you want to speed up the meet, find a way to get all people in the heat going at the same speed. Having people swim way faster/slower than the others was a big reason why Nationals fell behind schedule. (Besides the occasional power outage... :confused: )
If you can figure out how to do that, I'll tip my goggles to you. :cool: I had a substantial improvement in my mile, and a horrible 100 Free, but in both events my seed time was *honest*. But I know of a number of people who put down slow seed times. (They weren't sure what shape they would be in, and they ended up going faster than their seed.)
