[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCSL Divisionals are different than NVSL and are more about deciding the team champion in each division. MCSL All-Stars have stricter limits.

Restricting events further in MCSL would have both positive and negative consequences. It would allow more kids from bigger teams to swim. It would mean that some smaller teams (especially in the older divisions) cannot fill their slots, or would have to fill slots with kids who have never swam an A meet all season.

It would also shift the outcomes of the Divisional meet towards bigger teams with more depth, which is not necessarily bad, but would be more akin to Relay Carnival where you need 4 or more quality swimmers in each age group to be super competitive. [/quote]

I mean... it's two kids per event.  The only way a team would have to seed kids who never swam an A meet is if they never had enough swimmers to fill an A meet, period.  And in that case, it's highly unlikely they're at all competitive in their Division.

I don't necessarily think MCSL should restrict kids to two events.  Even three, heck, four would be an improvement over five.  If Divisionals is really about team strength, depth is an aspect of that.  The way it's set up now, teams only need a few ringers to be competitive at MCSL Divisionals, which really doesn't emphasize the team aspect of summer swim.[/quote]
