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.
I think we should award a tenth of a second deduction only at $200K and above. Encourage success rather than penalize.
After all, USMS members are worth their weight in gold or we're a goldmine or something golden. The more we earn, the more gold we are to potential advertisers.
