In Pacific, we only count times swum in Pacific sanctioned meets for our Top Tens and Records.
I was wondering if your LMSC counts times swum at Nationals, or in other LMSCs, in your LMSC tabulations?
This has always been frustrating for me, especially during LC season, as we usually only have one or two meets. Last year and this year we had one meet, our LC championships! I would love to be able to have Nationals times count, and/or be able to enter meets in other LMSCs and have the times count in Pacific tabulations.
If you respond, could you tell me what LMSC you're in? I'm going to present "my case" at our May meeting.

In the Virginia LMSC we do not have an LMSC-specific top ten list. But we do maintain LMSC records.
Any time by a person registered in our LMSC counts. The meet can be anywhere, and includes nationals, as long as it is sanctioned or recognized.

Arizona is the same.

Karen,
That's not quite accurate. I believe only the times swum during PA meets count for PA "points" in the SOTY tabulation. USMS "points" and records can be set anywhere assuming sanctioning of the meet.
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe for OREG all meets are good.
OREG is amazing.Any USMS swim counts and swims elsewhere count with proper documentation.In addition we have a cumulative Top 12 in all distances.(I lived in Houston til 1988 and they had almost no documentation.I never heard of LMSC records or times there.)
I have never seen or heard of a Pacific Masters "Top Ten" list. Does someone really compile them each year? If so, they aren't distributing them very widely!
For many events, like distance freestyle and 200s stroke, even if you allowed swims by Pacific-registered swimmers in meets outside Pacific, it would just be a list of who swam the event that year, because you wouldn't even have ten different Pacific-registered people in one age group who had done the event. I suppose the order might change some if a person swam better at Nationals than at a local mid-season meet, but it still would seem like a lot of trouble to keep a very small list.
I think all meets in the Gulf and NT regions are eligible. The issue that I am finding, is that often the meet coordinator doesn't bother to submit the times.
I was at a meet in SugarLand in January. They announced that a swimmer broke a WR and that the pool was re-measured...
2 months later none of the swims have shown up in the event ranking database and I can't get any emails to them returned!
