The question is simple. Is there anything that has been put down in writing somewhere that disqualifies masters meet times from being considered for USA meet qualifying times like Sectionals/Senior Nationals/Open? I would assume that since tech suits are allowed at Atlanta that from now until USMS bans the suits, those times achieved at USMS sanctioned meets would not count.
I ask not so that I can use the tech suit to achieve qualifying times, so much as tryign to figure out if its worth me wearing my 2010 compliant suit for those races I am going for cuts in (if no times are being allowed, i will just stick with my tech suit and get every last race I can out of it).
If anyone can point me in the direction of something that says definitively what the answer is, I would appreciate it.
For any swim to qualify you have to notify the referee before the race and fill out a form so that it can be judged under USSwim rules. I do not know the details (I think it is called a POP form) but I am certain that you cannot simply do a swim at a USMS meet and use it as a qualification for a US Meet.
That makes sense. I figured it couldn't be as easy as just showing up to swim.
