There is a Master's meet in Atlanta this Sunday which starts at 10 AM. I haven't been to one before so I was wondering how long they last and is there a certain order to the events.

Rick, note that article 104.5.5.A.11 of the rule book (page 34) states:"If a swimmer enters a deck-seeded event with a time significantly slower than his/her recently recorded time, the meet director may, after notifying the swimmer, change the seeded time to a realistic time."
This is the anti-sandbagging rule that was added for national championships a few years ago. It is in the section that only applies to nationals, and I'm not sure why it only applies to deck seeded events. However, I can't see any reason why you couldn't publish a similar statement on your meet entry form and follow it to change the seed times for the real sandbaggers.
Ahh Jim see they're on to you and your tricks ;)
