I am interested if anyone could shed some light on citizenship/resident requirements in relation to National/USMS relay records. Is it possible for a record setting relay with one or more members of that relay, not being a US citizen(s) or even a resident(s), to be recognized as such?
It seems to me USMS records are just that: the fastest times ever recorded by USMS members. They aren't U.S. records, they are USMS records.

I can't allow this old wives tale to go unchallenged. Canadian beer is NOT stronger than U.S. beer. Traditionally the U.S. has measured alcohol in beer as percent by weight, while Canada has measured it as percent by volume. Since alcohol is less dense than water the ABV numbers are higher by something like 20%.
