[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our NVSL team swims up swimmers in A meets only to fill empty lanes (when there is no one in that age group to swim the event). We would never leave off a swimmer (absent some sort of discipline issue) to swim someone up from a younger age group. As a former team rep, I am actually surprised that some teams do that as part of strategy to win, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.[/quote] I think lower division teams would follow this line of thinking and are content being a lower division team. There is an upside that A meets are like B meets where everyone participates. I also think that a lot of teams are terrible at seeding. They seed their best and work down the line in an age group without thinking outside the box or looking at the strengths/weaknesses of the other team. There is still strategy involved in seeding. I have heard of coaches seeding a meet in 20 minutes and that says to me that they are not seeding well. [/quote]
