Do you have a cite for this, Allen? Does this apply to all meets or just Nationals? 102.10.1 Seeding Principles for Masters Competition A All short course meters events, long course meters events and national championships shall be conducted on a timed-final basis. Other short course yards events may be conducted on a timed-final basis or other basis (e.g., trials/finals). In a trials/finals format, competitors shall be limited to three individual events per day. B Age groups, genders and events of the same distance 200 yards or longer may be combined so that no swimmer has to swim alone and lanes may be filled. C It is recommended that when swimmers are seeded by time and not by age groups, the fastest two swimmers in each age group should not be seeded into outside lanes. It is recommended that they be moved inward one lane or given the center lanes in the next slowest heat, whichever is the more appropriate placement. D Seeding at meets other than national championship meets may be either fast-to-slow or slow-to-fast. Seeding may differ for sprint and distance events (events 400 yards or longer) within a meet. Women’s and men’s heats may be alternated in the distance events. The meet information shall state the seeding for all events. E Heat and lane assignments for events of 200 meters or less shall be available to all competitors at least five minutes prior to the start of the event. 102.9
