Just curious why (it seems to me) that there are a fair number of DNS names at the end of some events at Nats. I thought this wasn't going to happen with new checki-in procedures.
I think that "previous day check-in" unfortunately invites more no-shows than you would see with "same day check-in". I know that injuries, in the case of three of our club's swimmers, caused them to sign in the previous day, hoping that their injuries would improve by the next day.
Transportation was a problem in a few cases, causing events to be missed (construction, confused shuttle drivers, poor directions,heavy traffic).
Unfortunately, we also had the opposite problem - folks who missed check-in (either due to late arrival or forgetting to sign in). In several cases, the missed event check-in (not no-shows) was for their best events.
