6th event at SC Nats?

True FC + VC = TC. I think maybe there should be a survey to find out what competing folks want...yet another huge task. Do we go no QT, 6 limit higher FC and lower or zero VC. Or lower FC and higher VC. Maybe folks don't care about long days when they are "vacationing" I feel for the folks that work the meet but that's why they get paid, and maybe the answer is 2 shifts. It doesn't seem right that someone only able to swim 3 events outside of QTs and maybe on 3 separate days too, has to subsidize other swimmers just because of their superior athletic ability...that's just my view though. You raise good points Rick. ------------------ As for short days: If we're really adamant about speeding it up then let's not let anyone swim who cannot go sub :30 in a 50 FR or sub 1:00 on the 100 into the meet. After all, there are some really fast folks out there who have better things to do than wait around for the rest of us. Quality swim meets are long drawn out affairs...bring a book and a cushion.
