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.

No, I just assumed Paul was accurate when he said it was a time trial.
Even I know you have to finish 200s, and I've that 3 x on 200 backs now. I bet Chris really wishes he had just kept swimming ... Too bad.
Intial "3rd party" text from the meet was not exactly accurate on the TT situaiotn....here is clarification from Chris:
"Paul- If you're referring to my 100 today, they actually took it away after the meet - the race was during the 200 *** but approved to be swum as a 100 (without having to finish the second 100) by the meet referee and meet director but after the race they checked the FINA rules and discovered that was not legal so the race was not recognized."
for the time to count you have to legally finish the race
backstrokers need to stay on their backs
*** & fly need 2 hand touches

Smokin' 400 free NR by Patrick Brundage!
That is really cool that he got a National Record. He totally deserves it. I would have thought that the national record for 40-44 was faster than that. Well, at least, it is Patrick's now. :applaud:. Nice!

You are going to have a great meet. You've been tapering.

Let's hope but I already had a good meet this season with very little training two weeks before the meet. The odds of having another good meet with very little training leading up to it aren't in my favor. But, we will see what happens and either way, it is just an early in-season yards meet! Oh well!
