I am not usually one to complain about swim meets, since I appreciate all the hard work that goes in to putting one on.... And I fully understand that this is the largest LCM Nationals in the history of Masters Swimming....
But really...
Not being able to swim against your competition in the 200's???
This is not a local meet. This is the Nationals. The ONLY time I get to swim against my own age group.
There needs to be a better solution.

The problem here is that a better solution for one swimmer will not be considered a better solution by some other swimmers. For example, there has been talk about replacing the "drop six event policy" with a new policy. When the meet is too big, what do you think about dropping all non NQT events for all swimmers but not dropping a swimmer below three events.
