FINA issued Ruled,www.usms.org/.../showpost.php
Soon the USMS rules committee will issue their ruling.
SCM & LCM seems to be a done deal, the 2010 seasons started on Jan 1, 2010 & the rule began on Jan 1, 2010.
SCY is an American thing. The 2009 - 2010 SCY season began on June 1st 2009 and ends on May 31st 2010.
Will the new suit rules take effect immediately or at the end of this season?
I've heard rumours we might be able to wear full body suits at 2010 SCY Nats.
Look forward to finding out what the USMS ruling will be for SCY.
1/15/10 FINA BUREAU CONSIDERS SWIMWEAR RULES FOR MASTERS
The FINA Bureau has considered Masters swimwear rules. The USMS Rules Committee will learn the results shortly and then will immediately reconsider the USMS swimwear rules in cooperation with the USMS Executive Committee. All USMS members will be notified of any changes to USMS swimwear rules and the effective date. Regardless of any changes to the USMS swimwear rules, the June 1, 2009 USMS swimwear interpretations will apply for the duration of the One Hour Postal Swim being conducted in January 2010.

What are we talking about here? "Unauthorized" time trials?
No.
Just off the top of my head:
Auburn Masters Invitational SCY 2006 100% of swims thrown out
North Carolina State Games LCM 2009 100% of swims thrown out
Peachtree City Pentathlon SCY 2009 100% of swims thrown out although we were notified of this a week or so after that meet
St. Nicks Invitational SCM 2009 last two events unsanctioned and swimmers were notified 10 minutes prior to the events starting. Thank god I decided not to shoot for the WR at this meet as my event would have been thrown out.
