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.
It is very difficult for anyone to follow this thread without a clear understanding of the players. We need to agree on at least keeping the two main reference words clear.
A club pays money to be registered with USMS as a group identity. Swimmers at nationals represent a club (or are unattached) to score points.
A team is any designated part of a club. Workout groups, chapters, and relay teams are all in this category. Teams do not pay money to USMS.
If we can keep these straight, the discussion stays simple. They are not interchangeable terms.
