  • I would encourage all swimmers going to any meet to bury the Meet Director and Meet Referee with official requests for splits during the meet for every swim that they participate in. Oh good, another reason to charge for split requests!! Rick, I believe you have some good reasoning as to why to allow requests to be submitted after the meet is over. I, for one, missed out on a Top 10/All American time last year because I forgot to submit a request for the 800 of a 1500. That's my (the swimmer's) fault for not knowing/remembering the rules. However, as good as meet directors, timing judges and admin referees may be, I don't trust the accuracy of decisions made a month after the meet. Think of backstroke as an example of an after-the-meet split request gone wrong. How is the referee to remember that a particular swimmer in a particular lane did or did not do a flip turn (ie illegal finish for backstroke) at the 50 or 100 of a 100 or 200? See the problem?
