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.

    I think that maybe I came across a little strong on the this board. I think that anyone that begins swimming and can do under a mintue in any stroke at 50 yards has achieve something really good. I was just comparing times to others and those that started late that can kick my butt in the other strokes I have nothing against you. I was just saying that swimming as an adult whether you took a big break like me and almost went back to square one or you started late there is always somethng you are not happy with.
