I swam at that meet and it was well run ... I doubt that the meet directors did anything wrong ... I can't imagine what the problem is.:canada:
Here's a guess:
When you swim a meet in the US, the results are automatically (in the sense that you don't have to take any particular action yourself) submitted to the Top Ten recorder for the LMSC, are automatically forwarded to USMS, and automatically appear in the Top Ten lists. Something like that.
But when you swim a meet in Canada, or any other country, it's not automatic. Why would the Canadians submit meet results to an LMSC Top Ten recorder? My guess is that for foreign meets, the USMS Top Ten system does not work automatically.
I know for sure, from other sources, that if you break a USMS record in a non-US meet, the record submission forms are not automatically submitted to USMS (*). It is the swimmer's responsibility to engage the meet officials, provide them with the appropriate USMS forms, and encourage them to submit the time & other needed documentation to USMS. My guess is that something similar is happening here.
(*) It may be automatic for the FINA World Championships, I dunno. It certainly is not automatic for, say, a random local meet somewhere in France.
