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.
Chris, I looked at the measurement form. I think the boxed notice at the bottom probably belongs at the top if it's meant to be seen and acted on. It could be extended with the English equivalents of the metric distances as well.
Seems reasonable, I'll suggest that change.
A bigger problem IMO is that the whole second page was omitted from the Rules Book for some reason. If all people do is go by the Rule Book -- particularly if there isn't good wireless connectivity at the meet -- then they aren't going to go the USMS website to look up those procedures.
