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.
Let me go on record to say I do not agree with the whole "bring in a ringer" idea... at all.
How about when some former college swimmers reunite? What if you find no one is going from your "club" and want to be on relays and have friends to hang out with so you register with a team of buddies that are going? I know these are not exactly cases of "ringers" but it does show cases where it makes sense. And for the record I personally have never heard of a "clubs" coach organizing/recruiting ringers...I think it is suaully a person making a call to a friend or two saying come play with us next meet.
