Let's just say I am glad not every swimmer at a meet like Nationals has this attitude. If they did, we'd never get out of there! Perhaps we should ask everybody their flight schedules, gather their sleep patterns, etc. and let everybody swim to what works best for them.
Even faster and less confusing yet would be making all meets postals --just mail in your event time and the lowest time wins the event. This way there would be no problems with seed times, potential sand bagging, slow pools, event order, time between events, or long meets and your medal would arrive in the mail if you picked (err swam) the fastest time. Mailing in negative times for an event would not be allowed (only negative splits). :D
The rules regarding seed times are very simple - to the extent possible, try to follow the rules whenever you can for the sake of the rest of this swimming community.
