Interesting to confirm yesterday that USMS will not sanction dual meets between clubs...I had heard rumors but now that we were looking into organizing one I'm told we can't (still haven't found out where it says this in the rule book).
Curious why this would be a problem for anyone? Have attached a poll and would also love to hear your thoughts!
Paul (Mr. I have those categories figured out).
USA Swimming has "observed" events (actually “observed swims”). USMS has “recognized” events.
Either way, I believe what you are looking to sanction, a dual meet between 2 USMS clubs, should be sanctionable.
I also believe what is causing some confusion is rule 401.2 about eligibility to participate, which does not specifically allow restrictions for 2 clubs.
Thanks Rob...guessing you know me well enough to recognize that "I" have nothing figured out but am at least smart enough to have someone who's really good at it doing it for me (Erin, meet director for our nationals and our team manager)!!
Cool...now we can get moving on taking those pesky Phoenix Swim Club masters down! Big time beer bet on this one baby!!
