Floyd,
Complete information for the meet will be posted later this year. In the meantime, I've attached the qualifying times.

I see a few mistakes and the times seem slow to me. Are these final?

Thanks, Hugh!
I talked to Jeff about this last weekend at the Turtle and Blue Moon meet. Apparently, it was an Excel formula error.
Happy Holidays to all and fast swimming!

Heather,
The qualifying times for the 50s and 100s are indeed about 5% slower than previous years (top ten + 15% instead of top ten + 10 %). If you're interested in more details, see www.usms.org/.../champ-2006-9-14-1.pdf for minutes of the Championship Committee meeting from this year's USMS convention.
I've only made it to Nationals once, and I'm supposed to go this year for short course. In the past, I only made it to Irvine, CA's Long Course; that was last year. Now I've made it in the 200 SCY Freestyle, and I am fully qualified for the SCY 200 Freestyle event in the SCY Nationals...
I know this is a bit off topic, but would someone mind explaining to me how the Bonuses will work at this meet? I didn't do bonuses last time because I didn't know how they worked, and by the time we realized I could have swam some, it was too late.
Thanks.

Arojekt,
I'm not sure what you mean by bonuses. Anyone can swim up to three events in which they don't make the National Qualifying Times (NQT). Is that what you mean by bonus? It's quite simple. If you don't make NQTs in any events, you can still enter three events. If you make NQTs in one event, you can swim four (the one you made plus three that you didn't). If you make NQTs in three or more events, then you can enter six.
