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 do agree that NQT's are good. I agree with having them. I do think they need to be adjusted. I think that using the 10% lower than the 10th place time from the previous year is not a good formula. There needs to be a better calculation/system for measurement purposes.

...I think if anyone wants to swim at Nationals, then they must have a NQT for each event you swim. No freebies,...

So what new NQTs (that anyone who swims at the Nationals "...must have..." for each swim) do you have in mind?
