1. Does anyone know where SCY nationals are next year?
2. When do they update the top times on the website, cuz I was browsing around that section earlier, and noticed I should have some top 5 times based on the times I did at the one meet I attended, yet I am not on any of the listings?
Thanks guys, and sorry for taking up a whole thread on this.
morgan,
if you mean the meet at UMBC, it's mostly likely cause they're notoriously slow about submitting meet results. i mean, they haven't even posted the results for the meet online yet...
that gets an oy vey from me ;)
Donna,
The online lists only go back to 1993. It should probably say so somewhere. If you want to volunteer to put the rest of them into a computer readable format, I think I still have about 15 years of June Krauser's newsletters that lists them all.

haha yes that was exactly what I was referring to haha. awesome. two oye veys!
I just have a comment. I swam Masters from 1990 to 1998 and accumulated 12 Top Ten Times; the emblems were sent to me and they are sewn on a swim bag I carry. But when I go to the Top Ten Records, I am listed there once, for a 7th place finish in the 1995 LC Natls 800 free and I actually finished third; none of my other Top Ten Times were listed anywhere. Unusual I think.

Kristina,
You should (almost) never have a problem with times counting. The pool has to have been measured before a sanction is granted and meet results being turned in are a requirement for continuing to get sanctions in the future. If the pool is not long enough, then the meet information should indicate that the times will not be submitted.
The only case where there is a legitimate reason for the times not counting is if a bulkhead moved during the meet and no one noticed it until they measured the pool after the session. For a fixed length pool, the measurement need only be done once (unless there is major work done on the pool.) For a bulkhead pool, all lanes need to be measured once and then only three measurements need to be done after each session. Most do not consider this to be an onerous requirement. Again, if the meet host does not plan on fulfilling this requirement, they should indicate so in the meet information and then you get to make the call if you want to participate.

2. Welcome to the world of masters swimming. Just b/c you swam in a masters meet does not mean that the times will count as official for USMS purposes. Meet needs to be sanctioned, times submitted and verified, pool measured and lots of other red tape junk. Are you talking about Top 10 times or "Current Top Times?" If you are talking about "Current Top Times" the meet director may not have yet submitted the times. The last couple of meets I attended could not count anyone's times for a variety of reasons.
oye vey haha, thanks for filling me in! Yeah I had been referring to the current top times...but the meet was the first weekend in March, but good to know information..
Thanks, Leo, for your suggestion. All of my records are in storage in Texas of which I cannot obtain, so I will not pursue this. I just thought it odd that my records were missing from the lists for a lot of years, but I have those Top Ten emblems to remind me. Thank goodness I am not a stickler for having any of my records listed (LOL). I guess I fell through the cracks.
