The meet didn't use flyover starts, though.
No, but I imagine the 20 second delay is usually useful in masters competition. For one thing there are swimmers who start from the wall in the water. They are definitely going to be touching the pad at the start. Also there are relays and swimmers getting out or staying in the water after their leg. Because of this it's probably just easier to go with the 20 second delay.
