I know I elided your smiley, but for some events a postal-like setup (or at least a "satellite" meet setup) might be a good idea. Here in Illinois, the distance events for the state meet (1000 or 1650 on alternating years) are held the afternoon/evening before the rest of the weekend's swims. Holding two or three small regional distance meets around the state at (approximately?) the same time would mean some people could travel less (or at least save on the cost of an extra night in a hotel). You might be able to open up the distance events to more swimmers as well, or push the 400IM out to those satellite meets.
The more I think about it, the more I like this idea. Just think. It will allow the sandbaggers to bag more sand, or Gull to implement his free-lanes-for-all program, or pwb to retire with the profits from his lane-upgrade program. :D
Hadn't thought about the satellite technology idea - it might work for national meets too and allow more people to participate.
Guess i agree with gobears too, that is, swim your event and don't worry about what else is going down in your heat or elsewhere.
