I started a similar poll before,but time has changed things and I thought since USMS is going to have to do something definitive so they should have some input from the forumites
Interesting article until the end,then the DQ them idea,which seems stupid.If these swimmers are there for there team,then any points they score wouldn't count.If this is really an issue(and if the Bureau recommends that Masters follow the "elite" rule) then USMS could say "only swims in FINA approved suits will be eligible for TT or records." then the "non-elite" Masters could wear whatever.I'm not saying this is a good idea,just better than a DQ.(I also propose my pool fairness rule:"tech suits may be worn in any pool that is less than 4' deep for more than 20' ".)
