Right, drip'n'wet, it's not about anyone's "confusion." It's about the money, much like the unilateral decision to reward Speedo an "exclusive" at the meet for their years of ignoring USMS. Only, that wasn't really about the money because no one else got to bid! But, this IS about the money.
Egad! The crass suggestion that the Meet Organizers, in addition to putting in untold hours of unrequited, volunteer labor, might actually want to break even on this event! The unfettered commercialism of it all!
I've asked this before, and heard nothing but the sound of silence, but let me try again. How exactly am I (someone who entered the event within the original deadline) in any way disadvantaged by letting a few more swimmers register a week or two after the original deadline?
If you've ever help run even an itty-bitty local swim meet, let alone a 9000 athlete goliath like FINA World's, you have some idea of the planning and advanced preparations you have to make on the estimation of how many swimmers will sign up. Anemic entries can kill your budget. Contrary to naive belief, this is not about anyone getting rich; it's about the hosting organization not taking a bath on it. All of us would do well to thank Michael and rest of the volunteers for their work, not second guess every decision they make in the heat of the last few weeks before the meet. Again, if you've ever helped run a meet even a fraction of this size, you'd realize this is crunch time when you don't particularly need your elbow jostled.
