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.

If you get annoyed by someone putting in a split request, you "fundamentally" need to get a life, stop sweating the small stuff and learn how to swim your own race.
I don't disagree with that, although as I have said in the past I prefer to swim in heats with other swimmers who have entered legitimate seed times. However, when others on this forum have posted comments to the effect that , hey it's only Masters swimming (in other words, chill out), they seem to be forgetting that in most cases the sandbagger is sandbagging because he or she is trying to achieve a specific goal in a specific event (eg a pb, an nr, or a wr, which he or she is taking very seriously).
