Looks like it is to gain 20 minutes of rest before doing the 400 IM.
What do you folks think? Fair play or not?
I say anyone attempting the 1650 and 400 IM back to back deserves some slack.
exactly how would you write such an anti-sandbagging rule?Any swimmer whose final time varies from his seed time by more than 6.626% shall be disqualified.
This rule uses the male pronoun because sandbagging is for the most part a male shenanigan. And the rule uses 6.626, because who doesn’t love Planck's Constant?
