.. if I discover a major tabulation error in the results 30 days later... I'm going to amend the results and make the correction.
Just make sure you are an official Timing Judge per the rulebook because the Timing Judge official (or Admin Ref) is who authorizes official times. Most Top Ten recorders are not officials. I imagine a loophole is the Meet Director later submits a correction to their official results due to an error (split request form that was lost and then found...). :bolt:
You are obviously upset about this, but I think the point you are missing is the Top Ten Recorders are typically not in a position to certify a swim as an official time and the original Rule proposal tried to give the TTR the ability to do this.
