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.

Yes,but after they put "3" in the water, sprinters have to have a mid distance person behind them to remind them of the next number.
Pffft more like 1 in my case...
What a waste of bandwidth over entry times!
The real issue we need to actually clamp down on is old geezers wearing polyester suits that have somehow survived intact since the mid 1970's, but which no longer have the required elasticity to hold the crown jewels out of sight!
Apparently it is difficult to respond to this thread without the use of hyperbole.
As I posted earlier, I simply prefer to swim in a heat with other swimmers who have entered "realistic" seed times. This would be a nonissue if our meets had prelims and finals, but the reality is that we have timed finals. I understand that others may not care; to each his own.
Hey, Wookiee, don't clog up the M.V. pool with all that hair, ok? I'll be entering the 1500 and that would be a loooong swim if it's through a bunch of your hairballs! :bolt:
No worries. I actually don't think I will make the trip to nutty coast.
