[quote=Anonymous]I know that that All-Star Relays is a logistical nightmare, but I've been to a lot of them, and this one was by far the worst run meet I've ever been to, bar none.  You'd think one of the largest and most prominent leagues in the country would put its best foot forward for one of its two signature meets, but this year's ASR was a complete disaster.

No one thought about simple logistics.  They brought in three measly sets of bleachers for a meet that was going to feature almost a thousand swimmers.  There were 3 port-a-potties for the swimmer area when there are hundreds of swimmers.  I counted - at one point the line was 40 deep.  Because the number of port-a-lets was so inadequate, the whole site reeked of port-a-potty half-an-hour into the meet.  The walk to clerk was perilous for kids, and there had been no forethought given to putting down any sort of mat to protect kids from stumbling over tree roots, rocks, etc.

The Hamlet personnel were rude, abrasive and obviously never wanted to host the meet.  I am not sure I blame them.  There has got to be a better way to run this meet.  Charge every team a $100 relay entry fee and use the money to rent bleachers and to entice a pool that actually wants to host as opposed to the outright hostility of the Hamlet folks.

The NVSL should be utterly ashamed tonight.  What a travesty....[/quote]
