This may be LMSC/meet specific, but in GA, no QT proof is required prior to swimming. Proof is only required afterwards, and only IF you don't make the QT.
The fine in the GA LMSC is $50 per infraction to the TEAM, or individual if unattached. Further participation in championship meets is barred until paid.
P.S. I used your strategy in a December USAS meet to swim an event that I hadn't made a USAS meet-sanctioned QT (though I had made it many times in USMS meets.) I easily beat the QT and no questions asked.
OK ... so, here are the questions I probably shouldn't post in pixels:
If I was to enter a USS meet, I would only
enter events I was confident I could make the Q-time,
enter a meet I was confident I would train for
so ...
what kind of proof is required to enter the meets?
on the off chance I missed the Q-time in the actual meet, what kind of penalty is there?
Realistically, as much as I'd like to, I'm not going to make it to Austin. However, I will be in town and do want to swim a USS meet in May in Arizona. While I can register for USS, registering the times or getting them "viewed" seems like kind of a hassle. Do I need to go through that? Or, can I just register for USS and ensure I beat the Q times when I show up for the events?
