Attending someone else's State Meet

Is it considered bad manners to go to an out of state, state meet? I don't mean the regular season meet, but the final state meet. Just curious.

    Masters Swim meets are suppose to be open to any masters swimmer weather they are local, regional, state, zone or nationals. Meet Directors can impose a limited number of entries (base on limitation of the facilities), but CANNOT limit the entries to a geographic area. We do not hold a state meet since our LMSC cover 1-full state (KS) and western half of another (MO). We did have a dual meet between the KC and St Louise teams for a few years and held the meet in Columbia (central MO). I have attended the Minnesota, Iowa and Colorado State meets; and most LMSC are glad to get the extra swimmers and revenue. Anthony Thompson, Missouri Valley Masters
