[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The NVSL rule book technically allows teams to submit NT entries for their top two swimmers in each event at Divisionals.  It’s hard to imagine a scenario where this option would be used and wouldn’t anger other team parents though. [/quote]

This is correct.  NVSL updated its ruiles last year to state clearly that an NT may be enterd for divisionals:

"Seeding Times: The seed times for Firm Entries and Bid-Ins shall be proven by any swim meet result attained by a swimmer for his/her NVSL team during the current season or, if the event has not been swum, by a current time certified by the Coach and Team Rep, [b]or No Time (NT)[/b]. Times of disqualified swimmers shall not be used as Divisional seed times. (See Rule 1p for yard/meter conversion.) "

Agree that this is not something that would typically be used, though you could imagine it coming into play in some situations -- i.e. small teams or team where one 8&U is clearly the fasstest swimmer in all strokes, but has to swim breast/fly in meets because the team doesn't have enough legal swimmers.  That set of facts is more common than one would think.  The rule would let that kid swim free/back at divisionals.  (You would typically have a B-meet time to enter in that situation, but it's also possible that the kid isn't available on B-meet nights due to another conflict.)  [/quote]
