What Winter Championship meets do you like and why?

[Anonymous]

Winter classic charged for meet sheets last year. This year they did not and are charging admission, a nominal one. I wish every meet charged admission. I have seen people bring in 8 people to watch a kid swim when there is zero spectating room. This might curb that.

It does get so crowded in the stands.

NCI is just shorthand for the actual name, NCAP Invitational.

Lol, I understand that I just haven’t ever heard a swimmer call it by that name before.

I didn’t realize that was the name either and we are with NCAP. But yes, they are all referring to it as NCI. 4 days in College Park here we come! Glad that it doesn’t seem parking is going to be the cluster it has been before.

The kingfisher meet results were printed with NCI next to all the times that qualified. Could have something to do with it. Kids also like shorthand. Everything is sus to them too.

All our club’s emails refer to it as NCI.

Why would people buy meet sheets any longer now that you can get Meet Mobile?

The meet was not put into meet mobile until after the meet last year.

It does get crowded but people shouldn’t be restricted who they can bring to watch. I wish my parents were still around and could come.

That would be really annoying.

The meet actually was posted and results were loaded throughout, but the heat/lane assignments were not loaded- only the psych sheet.

You purchased the virtual meet sheet in meet mobile. Heat/lane assignments were only visible in MM upon purchase.

They are not restricting. Just $5 a session or $15 for the whole meet per person. This also gets people volunteering.

Same. We’re an NCAP family and this is the first year I’ve heard people refer to it as NCI. I’m getting used to it.

The sweatshirts and T-shirts they've sold for the last several years have said NCI on them. I don't think this is new.

I've heard that charging spectators is common for most meets in other areas. I guess we should be thankful for the number of "free" meets we get.

I've also had a kid in a basketball league that was $8 per game every week all season!

NCap Imvite: Worst time of year. Everyone is tired and sick. Not as fun as Turkey Clause.

Yes, it’s a fast meet.

Appalling, unsportsmanlike behavior during the Men’s 100 free final last night from an NCap swimmer. Disgusting.
