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.
Just when you think this thread is dead it springs back to life!

Actually Chris, I think the thread is more like Freddy Kruger, who invades your dreams while you are sleeping and even if you kill him he keeps coming back every time you fall asleep until he gets you.
SwimAvsFan, If the pool was 7 inches short Jim's swim still should count. I am certain he can swim 7 inches in a second. However, I think he figured out what lane he was in and he was in a lane measured short by less than 7 inches. In the circumstances present here, the swim should count.
Bob, It looks like Jim is winning the poll 25-9. You can not assume that the USMS members who did not vote disagree with the majority.
And, there is still the possibility that NBAC will measure the pool this spring and find that it is the correct length, as they have maintained from the beginning.:canada:
