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.
Hi Ion,
I have read each post and have taken these answers into consideration. However, most people gave thier personal feelings (which is fine), but all I was wanted was simple yes or no answers. Maybe the better way was to set this up as a poll. The post was not to distinguish between those that make or do not make an NQT. The post was initiated to ask, do we all agree that it needs to be revamped? I think the resounding answer is yes. Obviously this system does “work”, but I use the term rather loosely. The system is not broken, but it needs some tweaking.
It is now up to those that have the responsibility to act upon this, the Championship Committee.;)
Thanks,
