[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This really isn’t even the point of a block party meet. To my understand they are a way for smaller teams / LSCs to run more meets when it’s hard to gather all the officials / etc needed. Probably more also when distances are further inside the LSC. [/quote]

Yes, a few of us noted above that PVS seems to be using the block party model more as a way to use facilities outside of PVS jurisdiction rather than as a way to run a more efficient, less cumbersome meet for smaller clubs or less committed swimmers. The block party model emanated from Swim Atlanta’s decision not to register a large chunk of its less involved swimmers with USA Swimming and, instead, to register them with AAU. Other large clubs followed suit, so USA Swimming came up with this intermediary registration and block party model to try to retain registrations of these types of swimmers. SwimSwam has covered the issue pretty heavily on its podcasts and its print media. The way some clubs in PVS is using them is not in line with the vision USA Swimming had.[/quote]
