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.
Thanks : ]
First, let me just say I've only skimmed this thread. I am an LMSC Top Ten recorder so the title caught my eye.
I don't believe Pacific is doing anything unusual or unfair here.
The Pacific Top Ten recorder is responsible for submitting its Top Ten to USMS at the conclusion of each season. Note they are only responsible for submitting times done at sanctioned/recognized swims within their LMSC. This also includes sending in times from swimmers registered outside Pacific but who competed in meets within Pacific.
The Pacific records are something different. Like Virginia, it sounds like to be eligible for a record you have to be a registered Pacific swimmer but your times can come from sanctioned/recognized meets anywhere (e.g. Nationals). Therefore if you do the time outside the LMSC confines, the onus is on you to submit your time for record consideration.
Now back to the Pacific Top Ten - it sounds like these are only times done within the LMSC. So it doesn't make sense for Mrs. Duggan to do a time in an SPMA meet and submit it for Pacific Top Ten because the time was done outside Pacific. Of course if the time is a record, then it should get submitted.
