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.
When I posted the original poll I was not making allowances for cheating.If there was cheating a swim or a meet or whatever should be thrown out.I meant to refer only to good faith swims.
Kirk I applaud your honesty in getting your "too fast"time removed.I hope I would have been that honest.I know in the aftermath of the infamous 2001 NW Zone SCM meet Wayne McCaulley posted something like "My friend Allen Stark was at the meet and I know he wouldn't want any dubious times to count"and I thought to myself"Wow,I didn't know I was that scrupulous."
