I haven't had the pleasure of competing in a USM meet yet, but as soon as a meet in the Texas area happens during one of my vacation visits I plan on it. Our nationals are open to everyone, but that is because we don't have too many that come, and we don't offer the 1500, 200 of any stroke (only 200 IM) it's 4 sessions friday night to sunday morning. but one thing we have around here with the age groupers, that I found interesting, is if you qualify in one of the 50-100-200 events you can swim all three. same with IM, 100-200-400. if you qualify in 400-800-1500 you can swim all three,but there is a max number of heats in the 800 and 1500. I think this year it is max 3 heats, unless more heats are required to satisfy all who have qualified.

It doesn't sound like a very well thought out system. Not every is a sprinter (tho I fail to understand why not). I think that USMS has a pretty good one with having some relatively relaxed QTs in order to be able to swim the three bonus events in addition to the any three events desired. Portland LCM Nats dropped the 6th event and that was a very good decision as I can not imagine how long the days would have been otherwise.
