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:
So I agree that the main benefit of having a trials-finals meet would be laughing at all the complaint posts and the discussion of the finer points of scratching from the finals in a 200 after qualifying in the prelims with a split-request first 100 and then 100 warmdown. And think of the sandbagging implications! Months of hilarity just waiting to be unlocked...
Rather than age-group scoring in a trials-finals meet, team scoring could be used. After the first few years of healthy debate about regional vs. medium vs. small teams, I'm sure that we will all AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! :bolt:
