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 get the scarcasm in your reply, but there is still the issue of wanting to make the meet smaller so there will be time to socialize. It might be me who doesn't get to swim so you can drink beer and eat pizza.
Don't get me wrong, I'd be the first in line at the pizza joint, but not at the expense of someone else who has worked hard, gone through hell to get off work, and spent a lot of money to travel to the meet. The first and most important aspect of the meet is SWIMMING not socializing.
