I sort of feel that safeguarding accuracy of times is pretty important too.
Accuracy of times is paramount. I don't believe I've been asking for anything that would jeopardize the accuracy of times.
Was there a reason you didn't bring this fact to my attention earlier? The rule proposals have been out for a while, and I could have asked for a motion to amend it to something like this. (I'm not sure if that would have passed.)
I'll take a direct hit on that one. I don't remember when the convention stuff comes out, but my recollection is it's August sometime. For my day job, I'm in IT in higher education... so we go into 200% work crazy mode for basically all of August and the first part of September. It wasn't until a few days ago I realized "Oh... convention must be coming up...". I've always been interested in attending the convention (both on the USA Swimming and USMS sides), but with my current line of work, I'll never be able to attend due to the calendar.
Hmmm, real mature. Sorry the world doesn't turn exactly as you wish it.
This is what I told people at our own meet, where I was the one dealing with the paperwork. I'd rather deal with more paperwork than with unhappy interactions with swimmers who forgot to submit splits.
