[quote=Anonymous][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]
I think the point is that most officials have year round swimmers who will be at the PVS champs meets on the weekend, so moving ASR to a weekend will run the risk of the majority of officials being tied up in College Park.[/quote]

Alternatively, you could make the meet shorter by only doing top 12. There tends to be a notable dropoff in times between the top 12 and the bottom 6. Yes, 12th, 13th, and 14th places can be dead close. Point is you can't satisfy all the stakeholders with whatever approach you take.

Smaller pools and lower divisions would be generally shut out. Having enough spots to (in theory) accommodate all divisions is important to the NVSL.[/quote]
