With the continued growth in USMS membership, I would submit that it's time to eliminate the regional teams at Nationals. Case in point: NCMS sent a "team" of 123 swimmers to Atlanta, enough to enter A, B, C, and D relays in many events (e.g. the mens 35+ 200 free relay in which our club team placed 13th behind eight regional teams). It's been argued that the formation of regional teams allows more swimmers to participate in relays, yet local clubs from North Carolina sent as many as thirty or more athletes and could have entered relays on their own as our club (with eight swimmers) did. Swim with the guys you actually train with.

There is no way you would be able to agree on the order. Oh and a medley relay....Dear God!!! :afraid:
The problem is where to put Fort on the relay. Geek's position, no problem. He will act in the same capacity as the kid do at USA nationals, he will collect the gear and take it back to the team area for the swimmers afterwards.
Unless the relay is a 4x1000 free. Then swap Fort and Geek's role, with Fort doing nothing that geek was supposed to do.
