[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are hearing rumors some big clubs aren’t attending this year and were also just told we could bring more swimmers than originally planned. Which clubs are definitely attending? Who dropped out?[/quote]

There are not many big clubs at this meet.  The big clubs (RMSC, NCAP, Machine, etc) all attend NCI and Turkey Claus.[/quote]

NCI pulls in a lot of teams from out of state and many qualifying cuts are faster than senior champs.  It certainly takes a faster time to final.  It’s a really fast meet. [/quote]

NCI is just an incredibly fast meet.  Thankfully Turkey Claus, sport Fair winter classic, etc exist for the not incredibly fast. [/quote]
To be clear, there are plenty of swimmers at the Winter Classic that are fast enough to swim at the NCI.  Their teams just don't participate so they cannot, even though they have the cuts.  NCI is unquestionably a much faster meet, but it's inaccurate to say that the Winter Classic is for swimmers that are "not incredibly fast".  [/quote]

It’s just a different thing.  There is one or more posters who are very invested in tearing down winter classic.  I have no idea why unless there kid wasn’t selected???   Of course it’s ’smaller’ than nci, that it the whole point. It’s a limited number of swimmers.   I don’t feel like taking the time to do this but I suspect that any kid who finals at winter classic has nci cuts.  Similarly the poster who said teams send their fastest swimmers to nci over winter classic, that’s just false.  None of the teams who participate in winter classic participate in nci.   The Turkey clause equivalent is the mako invitational not winter classic.   [/quote]
