[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love to see an earlier start given everyone pretty much has to take the day off anyways.[/quote]

Or another day altogether starting first thing. Maybe the July 4 Saturday or a late season Sunday. Afternoons in July you’re just asking for storms. [/quote]

What about a Sunday morning?[/quote]

This was already discussed- issue with weekend is swimmer swimming LC champs and other such meets. Would impact swimmer, volunteers and officials.

I am fine with just doing it early in the day on Wednesday. I took time off from work to get there early to volunteer and my kid didn't even get to swim. If I am going to take time off and plan to be there I at least want my kid to get the chance to swim. [/quote]

Agree that starting earlier on Wednesday is probably the best option.

The argument that there wouldn’t be enough officials to go around on Sunday is overblown IMO. There were 17 seperate Divisional relays and each had a full set of officials. Only need 1/17th of them for the ASR meet. [/quote]

True but not all officials are created the same or ready to handle a big meet like ASR. They are pretty selective when they pick key officials for that. Last thing you want is someone who has no idea what they are doing. We had that issue at a meet and multiple teams got screwed over as a result. [/quote]

I’d think more officials would be available on a weekend day than a mid-week day. Work travel happens. Deadlines happen. Fiscal years get closed out and court dates happen. I’m not sure how many devout, never miss a service Protestant officials or Sunday meet officials would be ruled out, but I have to think it would be balanced by people who weren’t available midweek that would be on a weekend.
