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

Ion, by your own earlier statement you recognize that this thread is a joke (or mischief as you put it). Why then, do you keep trying to turn it to your agenda?
(Oh yeah, a joke and mischief are two different things. Mischief can be a joke or prank. The results of mischief, even if unintential and very mild, is harmful or hurtful. The intent of this thread was good natured fun that did not harm or hurt anyone.)
