  • Are you telling me that deck seeding distance events -- nay, all events -- is not standard for large FINA meets? PWB, they did deck seeding at worlds in Italy last year. many missed their 800 because they could not understand their own name being called or the process when you saw your own name on the video board. i almost missed mine because i didnt know what to do. thankfully i showed a lady my badge and got put into the right spot just in time. well over 100 men did not swim the 800 in italy for various reseasons. what i do know is that i personally talked with 3 that did not get to swim because they missed it and yet were there. now at pan-am's we have (as an example) 3 open lanes in the final heat of mens. that is sad. i have learned very quickly pwd, that at a fina event, it's not about the competitors, its about the tan coats. not having positive checkin because of language issues is understandable, but then not having deck seeding as well just isnt smart on the distance events.
