Any idea of when the 2010 pool Relay All-Americans with all 3 courses will be listed. It appears that SCY and LCM are listed. The reason I ask is that I had swimmers see there Relays as Number 1 in the World in the 2010 FINA rankings in the relays and they did not see there names in the 2010 Relay All Americans. Some are first timers and they want there certificate and patch and I told them to wait until its official. And they say it has to be official because they have already ordered them from FINA.
Check again. I was pretty sure I had already done them, but I deleted them (ie, the 2010 relay AAs) and re-assigned them. They should all be there at this point.

Its all good. Thanks Chris. Now everybody will be happy and they can order there patches and certificates.
There is no national championship for SCM, but using the TT list I've scored the unofficial "Mythical National Championship" for SCM10. Bragging rights go to
1. Top Zone: Southwest, barely edging out Colonies (by 60-ish points out of 8000). It was close enough that I was tempted to jigger the point system to get CZ on top... :)
2. Top LMSC: Pacific over South Pacific (2) and New England (3).
3. Top Clubs: New England Masters (top regional club and #1 overall) and San Diego Swim Masters (top local club and #2 overall).
Details, including explanation of scoring and full listings, are here.
Let the trash-talking commence. For example, I was happy but unsurprised to see that the Virginia LMSC thrashed its neighbors to the north (PV) and south (NC). Or that VMST was the #2 local club, even edging out supposed "powerhouse" Walnut Creek.
Chris:
Nice work. Was this done the same way as last with all the parameters. This is great for both LMSC's and Clubs to analyze how they did for the 2010 year.
A couple of observations. The LMSC's and Clubs that get swimmers to the big meets especially USMS Nationals and then Zones are a big contributing factor to the scoring of points.
The winners are not surprising. NE with the two big meets for SCY and SCM helps there cause especially for relays. That would also explain why they did not score as well in the LCM. FLA and Gold would make sense for LCM because they had a great showing at LCN in Puerto Rico.
I was surprised that GAJA wasn't higher because they won the SCN in Atlanta by 7 points but I guess they must of scored out of the Top Ten. My Club, Michigan Masters got 4th in the SCN and as I expected North Carolina and Colorado were the 2nd and 3rd place Clubs at SCN to be ahead of Michigan and they were.
We had an extra SCM meet in Michigan this year and that made a difference of being the 3rd place Club. Last year we were second in LCM but because we had a little turnout at LCN we fell to 14th in LCM.

Yes, I just copy the new data into the old spreadsheet and voila. Getting the data is the most time-consuming step, though it doesn't take all that long (maybe 30 min for the entire process once I begin).
Jeff Roddin once suggested I normalize by the membership numbers in each zone and lmsc but I don't have (easy) access to that data, other than going to Club Assistant's website and finding it out one by one for each LMSC. I can get the TT data in bigger "chunks" (ie, by zone).

It was close enough that I was tempted to jigger the point system to get CZ on top... :)This is surprising on first blush to me until I recall that we in the southwest have both Southern Pacific and San Diego Imperial in our Zone. I think we Arizonans and New Mexicans need to thank our Californian neighbors for bumping our Zone to #1.
