why doesn't masters apply the same age rule for ...

ande
why doesn't masters apply the same age rule for short course as it does for long course? In long course meets a persons age is determined by their age by the end of the year. so at worlds there were 24, 29 , 34, 39, 44, ... year olds who competed in the next age group up because they aged up later in the year. In short course competitions a persons age is determined by their age at either the end or beginning of the competition. I encourage USMS to be consistent and consider adopting the same rules for short course competitions Ande
