What seed times do you use when registering for Master's meets?
A) your best time in a master's meet
B) Your most recent time
C) What you think you will swim for this particular meet
D) other
I have been going with 'C', but am curious what other folks do...

I totally agree. I think it's kind of messed up to intentionally put a time much slower than you know you can swim. I brought up my situation because I don't think it is a good tactic, and I was worried that everyone would think I'm a jerk even though I didn't intentionally do it.
I think it's weird that you can put whatever seed time you want, since I'm pretty sure for USA Swimming meets (at least the nationals), your time has to be one you made in a meet that is under the time standards and be able to prove that time.
