Connie,
I'll agree with Jim that your list of questions is a bit daunting! Maybe you should just try asking one question at a time ...
I've been to quite a few nationals in the last decade. Most recent was Tempe last spring. The thing I liked the most about it was the check-in system they used, which allowed heat sheets to be available for each day's events. In fact, "like" is not enough praise. I LOVED it. I hope I never have to go to another nationals where check-in closes a few hours before the event, and then you have to stand around waiting for the heat sheets to be posted, craning your neck around the hundreds of other swimmers who also want to see the heat sheets. And then you forget your heat-lane assignment before you've gotten back to your seat and have to start the whole procedure over again! Please keep Arizona's check-in system!
