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.
On subject, how difficult would it be for the TT recorders to not post swims from pools that don't meet USMS measurement requirements?
TTRs are not supposed to submit times from meets where the pool hasn't been measured. And if they did, normally Mary Beth would not have included the times in the TT lists.
In the Tualatin Hills meet referred to earlier in this thread she did pull those times from the SCM TT list she is compiling right now. I'm not sure why the times were submitted in the first place; possibly the TTR didn't realize the pool was short (the measurements of the 25m pool were in feet & inches so it isn't necessarily obvious at a glance).
As for why this wasn't done in the case of the now-infamous NBAC meet, that was described in the other thread.
