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.

    Well, how about a vote? - Keep NQT policy as it is now - make NQT's mandatory for all events - make people pay extra to swim in events they don't make NQT's in (OK, not the last one) I enjoy all the people at the meet. The policy as it stands now allows many of my team mates to swim at nationals, making it all the more fun, and increases the chance for me to be in a relay (for those of us who don't belong to mega regional teams.) I'll even give up my sixth event for the pleasure of swimming with, and meeting, my team mates, and the friends I have in this group. (but what should that event BE??? :confused: )
