There was some discussion years back about a virtual national chmpionship for SCM season which never really took off...some suggested pulling ftom the Top 10 list for this rather than the regional meets.
So here's a question, has anyone ever "scored" SCY or LCM based on Top 10? Now that we have a new scoring system in place it would be interesting to see what the results would be...and might draw a few more teams to rally swimmers to attend if they saw how well they placed.
You've still got clubs scored with regions, and some regions are represented by only one club like WCM and NOVA. Where's Pacific, where's SPMA?
Great idea tho'.
I used the club entries as they are entered in the USMS Top Ten. I don't see SPMA though I do see SPM (eg, 24th in SCY07 with 322 pts). I don't know Pacific's abbreviation.
I should point out that these results do NOT include relays; I only downloaded the individual TT results for a separate project of mine. Since I already had the data all nice and neat, the scoring just took a little fiddling. I didn't do extensive error checking, but I did verify the score independently for my own club (VMST).
The downloading/parsing takes far longer than the scoring itself, so I don't have the time to add the relays anytime soon. I can do it in a month or so if people are really interested.
I anyone really disagrees with the points I used, it is a simple matter to change them and re-score, if you convince me your point-scoring system is better.
Just to make Allen happy, here are the results so far for this year (I do believe OREG's bragging rights are pretty well established in LCM).
