What! That’s crazy! What division was this??

D1

So typical of those D1 teams to try something like that. How idiotic of them to personally accost an official. I hope they got punished..

Pretty sure this is BS. D1 relays were smooth and fun. Lots of records broken, loud cheering, and close races all around. 5 teams had a lot of fun together.

Good but now we have the long wait to find out who is going to All Stars because we can’t move into this century and do things easier/smarter.

Our first time. When will the results be announced?

I’m assuming they didn’t meet last night so it won’t be until after they meet in person this evening. Gotta love living in 1956.

Why the rush?

Have you never been a kid waiting excitedly for something? Especially bc the rest of the swimming world operates with real-time results.

Yes, actually. I was that kid, waiting excitedly for exactly these results. And I learned I don’t get exactly what I want exactly when I want it. And my parents counseled patience and then went about their day as if it wasn’t the most important thing in the world that I know RIGHT NOW. Because it wasn’t. And it isn’t. Your kid will survive and so will you. Patience. Isn’t it all about the journey and building character, blah blah blah?

What happens at the seeding meeting?

The Division 3 relay carnival was great! Little Rocky Run was a great host, and there were a lot of fast swims!

Every team rep gathers in a circle, the NVSL groundhog is awakened from his slumber, and all stand in awe as he emerges holding the magical All-Star seeding scroll.

They always find mistakes that have to be corrected.

Except that all the time cards are hand written and results are all manually entered, which results in mistakes that are found and need to be corrected.

I see it was very close for the top two, but 120 pts is quite the spread there between the top and bottom score.

The last place team was missing many swimmers and had to swim a number of events as exhibitions. They are much more competitive in the division generally.

It would’ve been more fun if the Tuckahoe, OKM, and CB parents settled their DCUM score in the parking lot instead of just frothing from the mouth on the hill.

You should have stood by the snack bar with most of the Highlands parents!

Wouldn’t this be the case at any Saturday meet though?

No one is buying this rationale. All the team scores are already posted and won’t change. If there were errors team scores would change as well.

Yes, but you’re merging results from 17 discrete meets. I’m not saying you couldn’t automate that part, but it’s a little more complicated than folks are suggesting. Also, the reps do NOT attend that meeting, just the DCs.
