While I would never contemplate swimming in either of these events, a breastroker buddy pointed out that, according to the currently posted schedule, there is no 200 *** or fly at the upcoming masters world championships. Is this a typo on their website? If not, does anyone know why these events are not being offered.

Yes, Jim, that's me. I haven't swum a masters meet since Oct. 2004. I hope you're not scared by my age. None of the Smiths were when we stepped up for a 100 IM challenge a few years back.
Actually it's more your overall speed than your age that scares me.....but that's o.k. I'm most likely going to get humiliated by another longhorn anyway (Ande Raz).....so what's one more little humiliation? A little humility is good for the spirit I've been told.....So I guess my spirit should be rock solid by now...LOL!! Sounds like those 400 flies were extremely brutal....I've heard rumors that the coach of Univ of Tennessee back in the 70's and 80's used to run some pretty brutal sets way back in the day (his name escapes now though as I am old and partially senile). A high school buddy of mine went and swam under him and told me the horror stories.
Just curious BTW, who ended up winning the 100 IM Challenge you mentioned? Sounds like a Colorado Challenge of some kind?
