You must have a really big team with a lot of good swimmers.

Our coach knows the kids well and knows who is fast. With that if a kid misses time trials or the fist B meet, thus doesn't have any current times,  they will still be on the roster.

Last year some kids missed time trials and then the B meet a few nights later was cancelled halfway through due to thunder storms. So we had a lot of kids without times.  [/quote]

That's how it is with our team too.  No one is left off the first A meet roster just because they missed time trials or the B-meet.  Our coaches would use a time from last year or use their common sense.  When this issue comes up, it typically is not a borderline situation -- the kid without a time being placed on the A meet roster is clearly one of the three fastest at the stroke.[/quote]

Now I will say that I am fine with this for the first meet or two, but after that kids need to show up to B meets to get times.

We had a swimmer last year who is a really good swimmer, fasted on the team. The coach always puts this swimmer in the same 2 strokes at A meets because he knows they will get point.

however, this swimmer wanted to swim the other 2 stokes at divisionals and while everyone knows this swimmer could bet them any day this swimmer did not have times for these strokes because they were too good to show up for B meets. Still annoys me that they got to swim these at divisionals.[/quote]

This is actually agains tNVSL rules[/quote]

Unfortunately it is not against the league rules. You can enter a NT. [/quote]
