I'm confused....
I thought that even if you swam a non qualifying time at Nationals it is recorded in the results. FINA Master Worlds does not record your time if it is below the posted qualifying times. At least this was the case in 2006.
For any USMS Nationals I have seen, final times are published regardless of NQT achieved or not. You are correct about Worlds 06. I believe they put "NS" if you didn't make it. I guess USMS reserves the right to do the same should they so choose.
No one checks the times, except for when the occasional sandbagger gets called out. I think for the most part, people are pretty honest about it, and for those who are on the fence and fudge a bit to swim one extra event, its not going to kill anyone. The more the merrier!
