I noticed Davis Tarwater got DQed in the 400 IM. Anyone know what for? Nice Dollar says it was for back to *** (flipover) transition...

As to ***, since the Dixie Zone is the nation's pre-eminent Zone, we have outlawed the "fourth stroke." Going forward, it is an exhibition stroke for those just introduced to Masters swimming. All IMs are now fly, back, choice, free. And, don't be hating on my 34.1. That was a bet with my daughter.

I spoke to a Team Elite swimmer this weekend and they are tentatively planning on swimming at Nationals, at least some of them. So, good news there, unless you sneak into one of their heats. Cool! Always great to see elite swimmers enjoying Masters competition. :applaud:

I have no inside knowledge so this is just my speculation. I would be surprised if Team Elite goes to Nationals. Charlotte UltraSwim (Grand Prix Series) is two weeks after USMS Nationals and I suspect we will want to do well at that meet since we are the host club.

None of the elite guys are in the 100, just the USMS mortals. But, still 20 USMS members entered under :54, not bad for a local/semi regional meet. And 30 guys seeded under 1:00 in the fly. Some of those :59s are sandbagging...

surprising the final heat of the mens 100 is as slow as it is compared to the 50.

Way cool. I wish the U of A elite guys would have shown up at our Masters meet this weekend.

:afraid:Whaaaat? That's brutal! I haven't seen a masters meet yet that organized events in some way that would be regarded as reasonable. This doesn't surprise me either.

Look -- we can't even make all people happy with the Order of Events at Nationals spread over 4 days. Trying to squeeze all events into two days (especially with those juvenile 10 & under 50 distances thrown in) is almost a guarantee to create some crazy orders of events. Word, to my brother. In a 2 day event, really only two sessions, since the real swimmers get Saturday morning to themselves, you are going to cause back to back events like this, even the 50 free and the world's most boring event, the 200 buststroke. Of course, you could whine about it and not show up, which seems to be the case, now that's brutal.

I'm going to start counting my blessings and just be grateful that there are enough enthusiastic Masters volunteers who will put on a meet that I resolve from this day forward to NOT whine about order of events any more.

What is up with having the 50 and 200 BR back to back. :afraid:Whaaaat? That's brutal!

Thought folks might enjoy looking at what happens when the big boys/girls come down from the mountain and do a USMS meet. SwimMAC Carolina Team Elite is sending the full crew to the Sunbelt Meet this weekend. The last heat of many events should be outstanding. What is up with having the 50 and 200 BR back to back.

Impressive! Is SwimMAC planning something similar for Greensboro Nationals? I have no inside knowledge so this is just my speculation. I would be surprised if Team Elite goes to Nationals. Charlotte UltraSwim (Grand Prix Series) is two weeks after USMS Nationals and I suspect we will want to do well at that meet since we are the host club.
