From other threads it's seemed some people from small teams feel left out at Nationals because they don't have enough people for relays. How about not counting the relay points for the Small Team Awards and letting the small teams pool swimmers for relays. Pooled relays would not count for records or Top Ten but could win medals.
I always wondered what would happen if you took the number of total points scored by a team and then divided them by the numbers of swimmers that actually swam? Wouldn't that truly show who the best team is?
I think if this were done you would have to bring back small, medium and large divisions because if, say, Karlyn Pipes-Nielsen were on a team by herself: she wins all 6 events and earns 54 points... all by herself she'd be the best "team" by average. :p
Just a thought.
