[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has state cuts but I still think it’s unfair to allow some competitors to have two bites at the districts apple and others don’t:

- some kids will miss out on getting a regionals cut (and not get to go to regionals) from the first/only swim at districts 
- the opposite is true for kids who make the cut, but only at finals
- kids with finals get a better seed time for regionals/state and therefore a better lane at both the follow up meets (and this can absolutely produce a better result (so better time again at regionals finals, states
- kids who end up in the first heat at regionals from their finals swim time at districts now have an additional possible way to make states
- kids who are close after prelims have a sense of less stress performing at finals for districts to try and make a cut for states versus those swimming at regionals

Of course this is not fair to the swimmers who didn’t get two chances at districts. The schools at our districts will be swimming against some schools that got these two bites at the apple next week. [/quote]

Agree - it’s so unfair that the majority of kids are getting 2 chances to make cuts and improve their seed times, this should not be allowed. Especially for districts like National where they are already disadvantage swimming in the bad pools.[/quote]
