[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh sure for MCSL and NVSL there are tons of scratches for all stars. At least in MCSL there is also a 2 event limit for all stars so the top top kids auto/choose to scratch certain events so they swim what they want.  Was more curious about year round swimming than summer.[/quote]

That doesn’t work in NVSL- because you only make all stars in two strokes if you’re on of the fastest 18 swimmers from divisionals AND each swimmer can only swim 2 events at divisionals.

The reason the top swimmers scratched at that meet was bc there was a big USA Swimming meet right after divisionals. Those swimmers always knew they were not swimming at all stars. [/quote]

Oh interesting. In MCSL it’s the top 18 from any of the official meets (5 A and divisionals) - not just divisionals. So there are some kids who qualify in 3 or 4 strokes. [/quote]

So All Stars is not really the top times - it is a representative sample.  Only the fastest times from divisionals go.  So if you look you will have much faster kids in a stroke not swimming ALL STARS in a stroke because they opted for something else for the two.  Or, if you have a bad swim, bad pool, etc.  you might not perform on that one day and not make it -- even if consistently you have an all star time.[/quote]

Just like the NFL, the regular season is for seeding only.  You have to perform in the playoffs and championship game in particular if you want to play in the Super Bowl.[/quote]
