Why the club/superteam criteria for divisions? Yes, it's a "difference" but there are many others. I read the top 10 but how are some of these things "unfair" for scoring points or being in the same division for team awards at nationals? Maybe these are ADVANTAGES of being a club rather than a superteam. Is there an advantage to a superteam? Why were superteams put together? To be more competitive against the superclubs to equalize sizing issues?
Tall, small, lean, fat, training background, etc, etc, etc....all differences. How is a mixed relay fair for a gay club? We all make the best of our situations. Gender, age, # of competitors - those are advantages. How is "different" (club/superteam) an advantage/disadvantage?
What's the advantage of 50 superteam swimmers competing against 50 club swimmers? Why does WCM competing against DAM level the playing field rather than competing against a state team. More population/geography to draw a better talent base? Is this group of 50 superteam swimmers a better mix than the club mix? Are they better, faster, score more points, stacked, loaded, recruit, what? What's the advantage/disadvantage that's trying to be identified?
