[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PLEASE...in the 15-18 year old divisions there were so many scratches that they were in the 30-49 the place times from Divisional just to fill the lanes.  Older kids are not clamouring to swim at All Stars.

You can not have a September 1 birthday as a cut off...there is no way to justify making an 8 year old swim a 50 before they are 9.  An argument for a cut off aligned with the date if the first NVSL meet (mid June) is at least a reasonable argument.[/quote]

So eliminate 15-18 All Stars altogether if it’s just college kids looking for one last medal to add to their trophy case and the 30-49th place kids.

Most of the kids in 8&u All Stars are already swimming 50s in the winter/spring at the club level BEFORE their last summer of 25s in rec league. [/quote]

AND if summer swim was just about All Stars then you would have an argument but it isn't and in the summer you have 8 year olds swimming in Monday meets that are not ready to race a 50...or do you want to punish all of those kids for one meet the entire summer[/quote]
