[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my child's large MCSL team, A meets are based on season best times.   Nothing else.

They cannot swim the same stroke twice in a week (so that means that if they swam a stroke at the A meet on Saturday, they cannot swim the same stroke at the Wednesday B meet).

Everything is transparent and all results are on the OnDeck app. [/quote]

Season best counting time trials or only meets? I know one team that only use time trials for the first meet only but ours uses it for the whole season. Curious which is the norm.[/quote]

Why would they use them for,the whole season? That is crazy.  Our uses them for the first 2 A meets but that's it. After that's its best time used.[/quote]

It makes sense to me to include all times, including trials, when making those A meet decisions.  That way a kid with a fast butterfly (for example) can still be chosen for butterfly in the third A meet even if he’s been limited to free and back at A meets up to that point.  He may not have done butterfly at any meets after the trials, so using the trials time gives the coaches the option to put him in on fly as needed.[/quote]
