Later today I'm off to the Colorado State Masters Swim Championships and will be swimming the 1650. Positive check is at 12:30 pm, meets starts at 1 pm, the pool will be set up for 10 lanes of competition, however in the standard masters slow to fast seeding, I'll be lucky to be racing by 3:30 pm. Colorado doesn't allow No Time entries, although we have no rules for fibbing your seed time. Anyway the poll question is for championship format masters swim meets should seeding be slow to fast or fast to slow for 1000/1650 races?
Why seed it differently than any other event? Since it is a "timed final" in most cases, wouldn't the fastest folks want to know if someone in the slower heats put a burner on?
