Enforcement of NQT's for National Championships

CJR
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.

    Greetings, I will be brief. I agree with Tall Paul, 110%. And Gail Roper too. LBJ nicely conveys all of the messages from the posts. To answer Matt S; I think that NQT's are slow. Look at the NQT's for men's 50 free, regardless of the age group. 90% that swam the event beat the NQT. 50 free maybe a bad example, but it does illustrate my point. The NQT's need to be revised. Also, as I started in another forum, I think relays should count as events. Would make it interesting. Meg, Your right the Championship Committee needs to address this issue. Obviously I am not the first person to bring this topic to the fore front. Since I can't make it to the convention this year, I hope that this is discussed. I'll see you soon. Thanks everyone.
