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.
Jim,
One of the problems when we try to have these discussions is folks throw out unfounded comments that tend to incite people and in many cases simply are not factual.
On another thread i addressed this idea of "jumping ship" for "better than all the others" team......basically saying that I think your wrong. My belief is that people "recruit" more to bring friends and old teamates into our sport....and occasionly to go for ecords or championships.
Since you voted no and seem to think that this against your concept of "team" than I would as you to give us as many cases where this has happened and why it wasn't a "team" . Not trying to be harsh at all, but I think there's a real misconception about who and why people join teams other than their local one.
