Valid point and one Wolf makes.
Our championship meet is basically just year rounders anyway and is strictly officiated. I'm more talking about the poor 6/7 shrimps that Wolf DQs. Small tears - broken hearts.
When I swam summer club in high school my league was also dominated by the year rounders, but since our champ meet was huge and scored top 16, a lot of those shrimps in the lowr age groups helped make a difference, and it sucked to lose the meet because younger kids didnt get DQ'd for stuff they should not have been doing.
i am reminded of a child who swam the entire B final of the 25 fly freestyle and was allowed to score because the official who was presiding over that lane felt sorry for her. i guess i inherit my harsh views from my mother, who would DQ her own children without batting an eyelid (she DQ'd me twice in the same 200 fly once when i was 13)
