Does anybody know why times from Olympic Trails were added to the Top Ten list? It seems they don't count for records though.
This addition cost me 4 #1 spots!
Motivation for next season = down the drain
I am not sure if this statement is entirely true. Since I don't know who you are and what age group you come from, I really don't know if it cost you 4 Number 1 spots.
Before the Olympic Trials results were loaded in the Top Times Data Base, there was another meet loaded and it was probably the 2nd fastest meet with Trials being the first. It was called PRO DUEL and it was held on November 16 and 17, 2011. In the Michigan LMSC, I had swimmers request that there times count for USMS Top Ten Times.
Eugene Godsoe, BJ Johnson, Elliot Keefer, Nelson Wesby and Nick Brunelli all set potential USMS Records but they didn't want there times for records to count because they were going to go a lot faster at Olympic Trials than at this meet. Its a good thing because the times were not saved on the CTS system and that is a requirement for USMS Records, so its just as well they didn't want them to count because they would not have anyway. However, all of the times would count for top ten.
After the Olympic Trials were over, about 75% of the swims disappeared in the Top Times data base. So you can be your own judge if these times were to count would you still be knocked out of 4 Number 1 slots.
