This thread is in response to Jim Thorton's thread about his AA time being disallowed.I think that if a swimmer swims in a USMS sanctioned meet and that the time gets to the "official" Top Ten list that it should count.Otherwise one could go back and check the length of ,say the Amarillo pool from the first Masters Nationals and if it was 1 cm short disallow the swims.There must be a statute of limitations and I think it should be when the official TT times are posted.
I got a message that a meet this past fall in the NW at the infamous Tualatin Hills Rec. Center didn't make the measurements requirement. The bulkhead ended up being short for a few/most of the lanes. My only gripe...the records were sent to me for the Zone records, and updated (back in October). Now apparently I need to strike these records, and attempt to figure out who/what/when/etc. had the record previously. Shouldn't the pool measurement issue have come up a while ago, before the notice of records was ever given out (in addition to the potential Top Tens that were stricken as well)?? The SCM configuration at that pool is like nothing I've ever seen before. Here's a fun thing to try: stand on deck by the bulkhead for the fast heat of a 50 event, or the 100 free or 100 IM. Watch what happens when several swimmers all turn and push off the bulkhead at about the same time.
