I know it's been mentioned on the forums before, but I don't know where and I don't care to look.
I want to swim a USA-S meet but I want the times to count for USMS, how do I go about doing that at the meet?
Thanks!
The entry info says that it hasn't been certified. I don't know whether this is because the pool is too short, or if they just haven't bothered.
Jeff Roddin (the PV Top Ten Recorder) might know: you could ask him. You could also contact the meed director for more info.
I don't know if the pool is short or not but I bet Chris is correct: they simply haven't measured it. USA-S only requires a pool measurement if a record is set (NAG, for instance). And they probably figure NAG records won't be set in this particular meet so they haven't bothered to get the pool certified.
For USMS, however, the pool must be certified for the times to be eligible for Top Ten consideration. But keep in mind you can ask to have the times submitted to USMS Event Rankings since those times are not tied in to the Top Ten rankings. It's a little bit of work to extract the times from a USA-S meet to import into our database but it can be done. That's why you have to be nice to your local Top Ten recorder. But in this case you're not turning your times in for TT so I suppose any USMS administrator with access to Event Rankings can do the work for you. Which means you should be nice to all of those people :D
