Am I to assume, with the last hurrah for this generation of tech suits, that Nationals will be huge, and therefore no 6th event?
Is it even worth it to enter 6?
My dad is volunteering at Nationals. You know what his "payment" is? A t-shirt and hospitality.
The shifts for timing are 7:30-11:30, 11:00-3, 2:30-7:30. I guess they are preparing to go late, if needed.
Alison,
Thank your dad for volunteering, nothing happens without our volunteers. My 12 year old son will be volunteering too.
What's the harm in signing up for 6 events? If the last one gets dropped, then it gets dropped. I signed up for 6, putting my least favorite of the 6 as my 6th. With two courses of 10 lanes each I'm thinking the 6 event will stay.

I agree - looking in the rulebook at the number of attendees of the National meets, Austin (1800+) didn't drop the 6th event.
According to Tracy Grill there are 1675 entries as of this afternoon. Stragglers still coming in. She reports that they are trying hard to keep the 6th event but won't know until the final entries are in.

Wow!!
If we can run a meet with 1064 swimmers, who can swim 13 events max, in a single 8-lane competition course... certainly you can pull off 1700 swimmers with 6 events max in 2 x 10-lane courses.

So it looks like Nats at Boston some time in the not so distant future then?:bump:
