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
and 27% haven't decided since int'l masters hasn't decided - yet. And that is not really a decision on their (the respondents) part.
Well, the poll question is "what should USMS do." So if you favor an international standard (as I do, because I like the idea of international Top Tens and WRs), then what USMS should do is whatever FINA eventually says FINA-member masters federations should do. FINA isn't perfect, but it's what we have.
If the poll question had been, "what should FINA do" for masters, some of those 27% might have had an opinion. There again, though, some of those opinions might have been more about the value of uniformity between masters and open rules than about what suit rule would actually have been ideal.
