[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this thread just about age up dates?

I'd like to see MCSL adopt NVSL rules on maximum number of events to be more inclusive in A meets. A 2 event max seems preferable to the MCSL rule which allows 3 individual events, plus IM plus a relay - so a swimmer can swim in 5 events each A meet. [/quote]

No, it's about a crazy summer swim parent who has a kid who got beat by a kid who is playing by the same rules as everyone else and they are upset because they want their kid to win a race. [/quote]

Np. Maybe. But there is a very valid point that you have say, an actual 9 year olds swimming as an "8 and under".

This would be fixed by moving the cut off date to August 1. That way everyone swims their actual age. Someone just screwed up years ago when the current cut off date was selected. [/quote]
Not to be obtuse, but how does this address the concern? If an 8 year old turns 9 in July, which age group do they swim with that summer? Either way, they’re not swimming their actual age for part of the summer. [/quote]
