Gee, thanks a lot Mark! Some help you are:p
I am not saying my team has been "wronged". I am just saying that it gets a little old being pitted against entire regions, LMSC's and entire states (no matter what their size).
It sounds to me like people are holding our size and cohesiveness against us (WCM). We are what we are, good or bad. I'm not asking anyone else to change their setups. Obviously, you are all quite happy with the way things are. Fine.
I am not happy and have made several good arguments as to why there could easily be a "club" team category and SUPERTEAM category at Nationals. Again, this would take some doing and I am more than willing to work out the details, even if it means people in NC cannot be affiliated with us.
If you do not wish to support the idea of a postive change, for a large group of USMS, that's fine too. I guess I just thought people would be open to supporting a new idea, that benefits club teams while not changing the way things are currently set up for these SUPERTEAMS. Again, I have learned a lot about other LMSCs and I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Can somebody please tell me though why they would be opposed to a club division and a SUPERTEAM division at Nationals?
Besides "if it ain't broke don't fix it" because to many of us it is broken.
PS. Mark, if you all swim at different pools then you don't meet "my" definition. And no, since I started in 1993, we haven't had an inter-squad meet.
