I think the reason is because he did those top ten times as a USMS Registered masters swimmer. I believe if he swims in our 2007 USMS LC Nationals as a registered swimmer for San Diego Masters, his times get picked up for top ten. In the Canadian Masters National Championships, because he swims for a Canadian team and has a Canadian Registration Number, than his times will count for Canadian Top Ten and not USMS Top Ten. So those times from last spring in Winnipeg, will not show up in our 2007 USMS SCM Top Ten. There is no residency requirement and there is no provision against having dual registration. I discovered this last year at the World Championships. FINA does not have a provision against this like they do in Swimming. In Masters you can have as many registrations as you want in as many countries as you want. Its sounds strange, but until this provision is changed, you will see this a lot.
