Team Orlando has announced that the entry deadline for the Rowdy Gaines Meet has beene extended until noon on Friday, Oct. 16th.
You still have time to entry the meet if you were thinking about it. Who all from the forum is attending?
hahaha. I meant the meet directors and referees should know the rules, so this wouldn't keep happening. And it's a stupid rule anyway, especially since you can set NRs in time trials (see KPN).
And the resultant further problem is that it's the swimmer that gets screwed. What if that was Chris' taper meet or he doesn't have another SCM meet this year? His time just gets wiped out (like mine did), and there's nothing that doesn't make that result suck.
From Chris' FB post, it looks like what he did was swim the 100 *** during the 200 ***, but just didn't finish the race. The meet ref told him that was okay, but then saw from the FINA rules after the fact that it wasn't. (Heck, even I knew that.) Not really a comparable situation to yours last year, I guess.
