  • Any details on why R49 (allow splits for top-10 within 30 days of meet) was withdrawn? The issue was designating split times as Official Times. Top 10 recorders are not allowed to do it, and the Records and Tabulation Committee decided that it would be too much of a hassle for the meet referee (or admin ref) to do it after the meet was over, particularly if there were a lot of post-meet split requests. I believe someone also said that the meet results could not be official until all such split requests were received, meaning that meet results wouldn't be official until 30 days after the meet. I don't know the reasoning behind that statement; but by that point in the meeting it was clear that most of the Committee was against the proposal. The vote was unanimous to withdraw the proposal. Bottom line: it is much easier to determine if a split time is legit at the meet itself.
