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.
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.
We do (have that statement in our meet info).
In NE, we've debated having "requirements" of seeding with best times. I'm of the opinion that we need to state that we expect you to seed with best times, and we reserve the right to change if we see fit. It also helps us with the people who quite accidentally seed themselves wrongly. We have bunches of our more "senior and experienced" swimmers who believe they are faster than they are, and we make some adjustments to make sure that the 55-minute swims in the 1650 are all in heat 1.
