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.

Absolutely ridiculous.
I just had a friend do a split request next to me in the 100 fly last weekend. She set a national record doing so. I was thrilled for her and wasn't bothered one iota by it. 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. Split requests give swimmers more chances to get times, which is a positive thing.
I did not even hint that I get annoyed or bothered by splits requests. Why attack me personally about needing to get a life when I was posing a philosophical question?
