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.
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.
Pacific is PC (OK no snarky observations about appropriateness), and Southern Pacific is SP, maybe SPM as you observed.
Those of us who swim on club teams, like Clemmons, register for nationals with their home team and not their LMSC. If you wanted to score Pacific you'd have to know all of our 110 team abbreviations. These are some of the teams that scored in our SCMs in October: WCM, BAY, MAM, RHMS, TCAM, SRM, SMMM, TAM, TOC, STAN, DAM, TVM, USF, MVM, RINC, LVTC, BAM, TEME, MELO, AAM, WACM, SAC, FGST, PCAM, LNM, you get my point.
That's the problem with a mythical National SCM Championship, you can't score a third of the competitors with a top ten scoring system. Why not use the meet results from the zone championships?
