I was very happy with ASUs change to deck seeding procedures at this years nationals. Allowing check in the day before and having heat sheets ready the next morning made for a much better meet (in my opinion). I spoke to quite a few others that liked it as well, anyone else have a different experience?
Phil,
The internet option was a very nice additon from past meets, Mark had also looked into offering a phone in option but for some reason it didn't happen this time.
Of far more signifigance to me was that unlike past meets we had heet sheets each morning, a nice way to keep track of not only your events but of fellow swimmers. I hated having to wait till 30-60 minutes before my race to see lane assignments as well as when friends were swimming.
When you combine this with the "real time" results on the web it allowed a lot of us to go back to our homes/hotels for a few hours, keep an eye on the schedule and escape the heat, another nice feature.
All in all a very well run meet mark!
