It's my understanding that in pools with moveable bulkheads, the course must be measured before and after each day's session. If this is the case, for the meet in question I wonder why any pool length issues from the Saturday session were not caught and corrected prior to the Sunday session? Or are all results for the meet thrown out even if a correction has been made between the Saturday and Sunday sessions?
For swimmers who achieve top ten swims with some regularity, having a swim omitted is more of an annoyance than anything else. Over 20+ years, I've had at least a dozen swims left out of top ten for various reasons. But for the swimmer who has never gotten a top ten time before and may not get another one anytime in the foreseeable future, while not "horrific", it's probably quite upsetting.
