I was wondering if I was the only Master's swimmer who didn't know that there was a five event limit on all meets? As an Arizona swimmer, I signed up for the MV LCM meet a couple of weeks ago because there was no event limit on the meet flyer. I like to swim a lot of things (more bang for my buck, so to speak). I entered ten events on-line (not knowing I was being a criminal). Nobody refuted my entry. Imagine my sadness when a week after my swims I was informed that I was retroactively DQ'ed for events 6-10! These were some of my best times ever. I am really down about this. I even asked our LMSC Director the year before (after attending a MV meet and swimming 10 events) why Arizona couldn't allow more events per day and I was told it is up to the Meet Director as to how may events are to be permitted.
What are your thoughts? Am I being a baby or do I have a right to feel ripped off?
If they are retroactively eliminating five of your swims to comply with the rules, I think you should have a say as to which five are eliminated. They messed up by not questioning your entry before the swims, and therefore should give you the choice. That way they get to enforce the rules and you get to count your best swims.
I think like Swoomer. I sent three e-mails requesting such a discussion with the person who DQ'ed me; but, never got a response.
