FYI: The time line and heat sheets are available! :bliss:
Just wondering, though... Can anybody out there explain how I (Elaine Krugman) got placed in Heat 3 of the 100 Yd Breaststroke (Lane 8). Based on my seed time and age, shouldn't I have been placed in Heat 7? If anybody out there has a clue, will you please explain it to me? Check out the seed times and ages in Heat 7 and see if I'm on the right track with my thinking...
Hey, Anna Lea, it looks like we'll be next to each other in the 100 and have one between us in the 50 Yd Breaststroke. :D You should have joined me in the 200 Yd Breaststroke! :agree:
Probably your best bet for this is to find a USA-S meet in that format and get them to agree to a dual sanction.
However, from a masters perspective, it is a pain in two respects:
-- if the course has a movable bulkhead, according to the rules you have to do measurements after each session in order for the times to be eligible for submission for Top Ten consideration. So that means twice a day, instead of once.
-- the tools we use for submission of results into the Meet Results Database (which, among other things, feeds into the "Current Event Rankings") are not set up to deal with meets in a Prelim/Final format. Before I submit it, I have to manually alter the SDIF file in a text editor. Not a big deal when it is just a couple swimmers in each season, but it would be a huge hassle if there were many such. Because there isn't much demand for such, updating the tools to deal with P/F has a pretty low priority right now compared to other projects.
As a swimmer: personally, I can live without prelims/finals, it makes meets much more tiring...
Plus, USA-S meet directors look at you like you are crazy when you do multiple measurements. What, "Pools have to be measured!"
