Does anyone know why the swims from the South Central Regional Championships in San Antonio in early December were not included in top ten? I believe they were submitted in a timely manner, so maybe a short pool?
So, I'm trying to figure out how a swimmer who wants times to count for top 10 can tell, prior to entering a meet, whether the pool will be legal for such times.
(I'm only referring here to USMS sanctioned meets held in the U.S.)
A quick glance at the sanctioning instructions on the usms web site indicates that sanctions can be granted to short pools, but that the entry form should then indicate that times won't count. So apparently, just having a USMS sanction is insufficient evidence that a meet will produce times that will count? (In a quick look through the entry form for the meet that Karlene refers to, I don't see anything about pool length.)
It seems like you end up entering any meet at your own peril from this perspective, that the pool may end up being not legal even though there's no prior indication.
