I don't think the more swims the more chance to score. For Nationals last spring, Illinois had 200 + swimmers. I am thinking a lot of those were non-scoring and just going to have fun. I know I contributed absolutely nothing to the team as I am not fast enough and just wanted the experience of swimming on a relay since I had never swum on a team before.
But I also know that by putting all the Illinois swimmers together, it brought people with tremendous scoring abilities. Nadine comes from an area(like me) that has few swimmers, think if she could not have swum on a relay. That is a lot of points!
I don't know what the answers to this is. I thought it was a little odd to score it the way it was scored, but did take advantage of having the system to get more swims and make it worth my while to drive over to Indy. I got to meet some fun people, so was glad there was a team to be a part of.
I missed reading some of the posts here, so may have to go back and read. Good luck finding a solution! :cool:
