[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My trouble with using virtual meet is with the jump to the next age range and relays. OKM had 75% of their best swimmers in their “down” year. This affects relays (look at the differences between placement at ASRs in 2023 v 2025), which largely affects scores. The other factor is always the young swimmers who start swimming club this year. By Feb/Mar, club times tell a lot for the young ones. One example is a little girl on Langley who was good at 7 but now is superb, ostensibly because she started swimming club.[/quote]

The team rep survey asks about this factor too.  The reality is the seeding committee does the best they can with the info they have, but it's an inexact science.  Families leave after seedings are determined, kids come out of nowhere to become high point scorers, coaching changes help or hurt some teams, etc.  The fact that most meets are competitive despite those limitations suggests the seeding committee is generally doing a good job.[/quote]
