NVSL ASR and excessive heat?

[Anonymous]

No lights. And weird rules about lanes 1 and 6 and dqing if you went outside some boundary line. I appreciate Rutherford hosting. Nice field. But.. the pool area and pool were pretty rough.

This sucks for my kid. 2020 no ASR, 2021 no ASR, 2024 no free relay at ASR

These hs kids just can't catch a break.

Why can't they have each age group make it up tomorrow or this weekend. think outside of the box.

And yes, I volunteer, and help as much as I can. I would do whatever I could to host 3 heats of an age group this weekend.

Too many kids and officials are at open champs this weekend.

What was the boundary line thing? I didn’t hear about this.

The “corners” of the pool are curved. The spot where the curve starts is marked, and if a kid touches the wall beyond that (the curved area), he is dq’d because technically he is swimming a shorter distance.

They can't, per the rules in the NVSL rule book. (p. 70):
If any events of an All-Star Meet cannot be swum on the date originally scheduled, the events shall be canceled and not rescheduled.
Awards (but not points) for any events not swum shall be made based on the meet’s final seeding. Team trophies for the All-Star Relay Carnival shall be awarded based on the results of completed events but shall not be awarded unless at least 12 events have been swum.

I can't think of any indoor facility that comes close to having the needed capacity. There were over 800 athletes that competed today. Places like George Mason and the larger rec centers seat maybe 500 spectators. They hit capacity for HS meets which have maybe 150 athletes and family members.

B meet Larlo pays $200 and gets to swim in 5 lame, long, boring B meets that aren't even scored like real meets.

A meet Larla pays $200 and gets to swim in 5 super fun A meets, with themes and team lunches, 5 B meets, extra attention from coaches during Practice, relay carnival, all star relay carnival, and individual all stars. A
meet Larla's parents aren't required to do any extra volunteering above what B meet Larlo's parenrs do. It honestly feels like the B team families are subsidizing the A swimmers.

Oh please, A meet families naturally volunteer a LOT more. Our team doesn't currently have volunteer requirements, but I can tell you A meet families are a lot more committed to the team and do a hell of a lot more of the work. Team Reps ALWAYS have A meet swimmers as do all of our officials, data coordinator, table head and so forth. It's rare that a family with strictly B meet swimmers are volunteering to do any of the big jobs.

Honest question, how do you run a team without any volunteer requirements?

Thanks for sharing this. I didn't know they couldn't hold a makeup. It still sucks though.
