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 am thinking about you and your dog at this time. Peace, Denise Thank you Denise. Zeebo died about an hour ago. I feel really bad because what triggered the pancreatitis attack was that he ate most of a big bowl of pasta salad that I dropped on the floor while trying to put it in the refrigerator. Too much fat for an old dog to process. Please, don't feed your dogs anything but dog food, everyone. And everyone, please forgive me for my attitude today. I should not have tried to communicate with anyone in my state of mind.
