I think this timeline dilemma could be solved by imposing National cut times (by age group and gender of course). This isn't unheard of in the swim world, it happens at almost every big meet around the US and world. This would make for a much more enjoyable meet for all; swimmers, coaches, spectators and especially those volunteering their time for us.
and not to rock the pool on this one :) but how about proof of times? If anyone saw the 1500s last night it appeared that anyone could have swam and entered any time they wanted. All but the final heats were all over the place with their times.
