NO ONE has to know that I was the only one entered...
A WIN IS A WIN - AND I'LL TAKE IT!
Take your time... like I said, I was just curious with no one else to ask but the forum.
Now, I have a chocolate bunny that needs some attention. The last before I try on my new race suit!

Must be one of the newer types? Kind with the zipper that allows expansion like the smaller suitcases do these days? :bighug:
Jim: When the psych sheet is made available, by chance will it be accompanied by an estimated timeline? If not, when do you think that would be available? I'm doing some research on flight reservations and am not sure how late the meet is expected to go on Sunday.
Dropping the sixth event seems pretty rare for the short course meet. I've swum every short course Nationals but one since 2003 and the sixth event has never been dropped (I think).
Wouldn't it have made sense to charge my credit card AFTER the decision on the sixth event?
What's the real cost of making a bunch of $4.00 refunds?
The decision regarding the 6th event has no impact. There are no refunds if the 6th event is dropped. Check out the "fine" print. :cool:
Can you direct me to the "fine print" related to canceling the sixth event?
This reminds me of when I had four front row tickets to see David Bowie and when he canceled, they refunded everything but the $45 per ticket handling charge.
Doesn't really matter. I'm with Kirk - we'll be swimming all six for this one.
"NATIONAL QUALIFYING TIMES / NUMBER OF EVENTS / SIXTH EVENT
Competitors may enter up to three events without meeting the national qualifying time (NQT), or a maximum of six events if they meet the NQTs, i.e. have swum a time equal to or better than the NQTs in the past two years. All swimmers are limited to three individual events per day. All events must include an entry time. If the meet is deemed too large, an athlete's sixth event will be dropped. On the entry form, indicate this event with a '6' in the designated column."
"FEES
Fees are $4 per individual event plus a $40 surcharge per swimmer. Fees must accompany the entry form and must be paid in U.S dollars by check or money order. Do not send cash. The entry form is not complete until the check has cleared the bank. If there are questions about an entrant's check, full cash payment in U.S. dollars will be required before the entrant is allowed to swim. Refund requests must be received in writing by April 9, 2009. No refunds will be given for events not swum."

Jim,
Just curious, when will results be posted? I mean, if you can get your act together and post the results sooner rather than later instead of wasting your time with the darn psych sheets, you can save a whole lot of travel expenses for some folks...:joker:
PS. What a shame about that false start in the Men's 50 free final!
