The Austin Grand Prix allows swimmers with one cut to enter 2 bonus events, provided they've done the QT's for the bonus events. The bonus cuts are pretty fast but definitely more doable.
There are separate qualifying times for bonus events. Swimmers with at least one qualifying entry may swim two bonus events. No more than two bonus events per swimmer is allowed. Times must have been earned since January 1, 2009.
also your times need to be in USA Swimming's proof of time data base
There's a form masters can fill out at masters meets to request their times be submitted to USA swimming
My only cut was the 50 free at 27.73 vs. the 27.79 but for bragging rights I did that time 05/2010 in a local USA meet. It was not worth my time to go down for a single 50 free, plus there is another local meet! But most compelling, I have an even more important engagement at yet another pool - GREAT WOLF LODGE!!!!
