I propose a rule change for the championship committee. If someone misses their heat at USMS Nationals due to general stupidity and day dreaming, they should be allowed to swim in an open lane in that same event.

Thanks Mark, good post. I think everyone running any type of meet always wants the best for the swimmers. But there has to be rules that are followed. I also agree that the one Nationals I went to, I was very paranoid about the even and odd thing and making sure I was on the correct end of the pool, because if you were on the other end when it was your time to swim, no way no how were you going to get over to the other end in time.
