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'm currently the ILMSA top ten recorder. When I do the top ten submissions for a particular season, Mary Beth wants to see the pool measurement forms or know that they are already in Walt Reid's spreadsheet. Was this meet at Tualatin Hills a non-USMS meet of some sort?
Sanctioned meet, bulkhead pool had already been certified and was on the list. Looking at the measurements, both pre- and post-meet measurements were short so it wasn't a matter of the bulkhead moving it was a matter of the meet organizers not realizing that 25m converts to 82 feet 0.25 inches (a fact that is on the back of the measurement form).
