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'm with you, Ahelee! I've said so many times on this forum.
I do think the non-ringer "exception" Paul posits above makes sense though. I will be rather lonely on relay day if my teammates don't go to Indy and I do ... Since we're a small team, this could happen.
With all due respect...(I'll quote John Smith here)...this is "masters swimming". I say this knowing some here take this very seriously and that is wonderful...but the reality is we're adults, with careers, families, etc. and as competitive as this stuff can get it's ultimately (IMHO) about friendships. The day things get to serious to the point that people try and legislate the fun out of things is the day I'll be playing masters water polo full time...granted that would probably make a lot of folks from USMS happy!
