Leslie,
Im really sorry to hear about the error that left you off the top of the list. How frustrating. Just one thought. Were your swims done in a masters meet? I know FINA doesn't count swims from USA meets but USMS does.
Over the years I've lost more than several world records due to mismanagement by meet directors. I know enough now to take on the reponsibility personally to ensure credit is given.
I hope you can straighten things out.
Rich
Thanks Rich.
No, I'm aware of that rule. I swam the times at a USMS meet, NE Champs, last December and my times are in the USMS database and on the USMS TT Listing. So it's not a meet director error, though I have had issues in the past with meet directors as well. It has to be a USMS or FINA error. Oddly, all the errors I've detected so far are in the 50s; I haven't found any errors in the 100s at least.
Doug, I did send an email to Walt Reid, so hopefully he'll get back to me.
These are the other omissions I've found to date:
Valerie Jenkins (45-49 50 back)
Susan Williams (40-44 50 back, 50 fly)
Fall W. (40-44 50 back, 50 free, 50 fly, 50 ***)
Lisa Dahl (45-49 50 free & 50 fly)
Karen Andrus-Hughes (50-54 50 back)
Traci Granger (50-54 50 fly)
Lisa Bennett (50-54 50 ***)
Laura Val (55-59 50 free, 50 back, 50 fly)
There are others as well ... though I don't see 50 errors at a quick glance in the younger age groups.
Some of these times are from the Pacific Champs, not just NE Champs. Pacific Champs was a week earlier.
I am sending these omissions to Walt as well. No idea how a list can be published with this many errors ...
