I propose USMS adopt handicap measurements to more equitably compare performances in Masters Swimming.
1. Married ...... deduct one tenth per 50
2. Nagging spouse.... deduct two tenths per 50
3. Each child under the age of 10..... deduct one tenth per 50
4. Work more than 40 hours a week..... deduct one tenth per 50
5. House and car payment stress.... deduct on tenth per vehicle two tenths per house.
6. Travel more than 1 day a week.... one tenth per 50
Note: item 6 can help negate item 2.
In addition.... those of us with more manageable lifestyles need to adjust their times as well.
7. Training more than 4,000 a workout ...... add one tenth per 50
8. Training more than 4 days a week....... add one tenth per 50
9. Born independently wealthy..... add 3 tenths per 50

How about a tenth of a second per 50 reward (i.e. deduction) for every $10K in salary you make up to $200k. Beyond $200K you get punished and time added for too cushy a lifestyle.
As long as you can also deduct a tenth of a second per 50 for every $1000 you make below $60,000 as a "below the poverty line" adjustment to your proposed salary scale as well!

p.s. What did I tell you about starting discussion threads with overly serious or controversial themes attached to them!
