Are swimmers from out of state allowed/permitted to earn points toward high point winner in each of the age groups at your "state "meet?
Should they be allowed to swim, but not take away pints from your swimmers that are at meets all year?
Am I just full of crap because a guy did this in my state to me last year?:badday:

I am not going to answer this last question but give you an explanation of what we do in Michigan.
The Michigan Masters State Championship Meet is open to anyone with a valid registration card. We have people from Canada swim in our meet so its not just USMS members. It's open to anyone in the world that is registered with a FINA member nation club. You are eligible for all individual awards (medals, ribbons) and the individual high point award if you happen to win your age group. Also your team/club is eligible for the team awards and it does not matter if the team is from the State/LMSC or not.
The only thing a swimmer who is not registered in the Michigan LMSC is not eligible for is the Michigan LMSC State Records. However, we have Championship Meet Records now and anyone that swims including relays in the meet are eligible for those records. For the last 2 years we have had over to 300 swimmers and last year we had 348 swimmers. Traditionally this is the biggest meet we have in Michigan and in some years we have close to over 50% of the swimmers registered in the LMSC compete in the meet.
