We have been recently kicking around the idea of doing a "Dash for Cash" type of meet and wanted to know a few things first..
- Is doing this type of meet legal by USMS rules, or is there certain criteria that have to be satisfied (out of the oridnary sanctioning stuff) to keep everything "above board"?
- Has anyone done this before, and if so, what pitfalls / benefits are there for this type of a meet?
- If this has been done before, how was the turnout and what did you think made a great difference in how the meet went overall?
Any constructive feedback on this would be appreciated..
Thanks In Advance!

We have always given out door prizes instead of awards. We include all volunteers in the drawings (after all they are as much, or more, a part of the event as the swimmers are). This has always been well received and our meets are generally the best attended USMS meets in our area other than Zones.
