https://community.usms.org/events/f/usms-national-championship-international-events/31321/postal-virtualNobody is asking but I prefer postal/epostal as name for these championships. Virtual seems to harken back to our previous wild west virtual championship where every time submitted was counted as legit. Carry on.en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/292420?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 07 Feb 2022 19:10:39 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:067e6622-4608-4625-98a9-82a439d78bb5Jay Eckert<p><a href="/members/02em5">Kurt Dickson</a>&nbsp;thanks for your feedback. Postal/ePostal is understood by veterans of those event but we received feedback from many swimmers who were confused by the name. As we&#39;re revamping these events to boost participation, we tried to make it more appealing/understandable and inclusive/welcoming to all swimmers.</p> <p>The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.usms.org/events/virtual-championships">2020 USMS Virtual Championship</a> was an anomaly as we tried to make of a tough situation with the cancellations of 2020 Spring and Summer Nationals. It wasn&#39;t intended to be a &#39;true&#39; national championship, but just something to help fill the void of pandemic cancellations and give swimmers a chance to race from their home pool. We rebranded it as <a href="https://www.usms.org/events/2021-tyr-last-one-fast-one">2021 TYR Last One Fast One</a> and intend to offer something similar this year as an additional racing opportunity for USMS members in a flexible format.&nbsp;</p> <p>In short, the 2020 Virtual Championship was a one-off, but the ePostals will carry the USMS Virtual Championship designation moving forward.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
