[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another version, our pool says you can swim the B but only get a competitor ribbon if you placed in the top 3 at the prior A meet.  You can swim B for time, but not for place. [/quote]

So exhibition only right? I wish our pool would allow that.

Ours doesn't allow this either. It is annoying because we'd like to use the B meet as practice. I've been told and read that it was an NVSL rule that doesn't allow the top 3 swimmers in a race to swim that same race in a B meet even for exhibition.[/quote]

Its not a NVSL rule- although I know our NVSL pool team handbook says it is. For B meets many of the NVSL pools are in leagues- like the McLean Area League, Vienna Area Dev League.   Each of these groupings of pools sets their own rules about B meets- and the 'if you placed on Sat you can't swim it on Monday" is an extremely common league rule.

I think it is a good rule- honestly, if you placed on Sat and you swim on Monday you will most likely win, the fact that you are 'only swimming for exhibition' isn't going to mean much to the swimmers who think they lost to you.[/quote]
