NVSL reviews all the cards to make sure the times are entered in correctly - hence the 24 hour rule.

I used to think that was silly but this year we have had numerous issues with times being entered wrong and needing to be corrected.[/quote]

22 events * 102 teams = 2,244 cards!  How many people at the NVSL level are reviewing each and every one of those cards?  I thought each division was responsible for verifying data accuracy, at the meet, hence the position of verifier.[/quote]

They review the top 50 or so in each stroke.

They are verified at the meet and then again at the meeting that division coordinators attend. Mistakes are found but that’s why they double check.[/quote]

Last year 1:17.96 was good enough for 70th place in boys 9-10 100 free relay, while 1:07.70 was 8th place.  The additional NVSL level review you are describing doesn't guard against the case where someone fat fingers 1:07.70 into 1:17.70 and sends a team that was rightfully 8th outside of the scope of review for determining which teams ultimately make ASR.[/quote]

As a table chief, “fat fingering” should not occur because there are two verifiers who check what was entered by data entry matches the time cards.[/quote]

So why the extra review by the league then?[/quote]

I don’t know. NVSL seems archaic to some degree IMO. Not sure why you’d need a seeding meeting. Should be electronic at this point.[/quote]

Especially since all the individual divisions have sent out the results already.  We need to all move to Meet Mobile. [/quote]
I’m pretty sure a NVSL official stopped anyone who was posting to meet mobile last night.  A few divisions started too and then stopped after a few events.  This happened to us at divisionals last year.  We were posting to meet mobile until an NVSL official came over and shut it down [/quote]

So ridiculous! Our Division results were sent out already as I’m sure others were.  There has to be a better way![/quote]
Better in whose mind?   NVSL likes how they do this.  They like the suspense of everyone waiting for the announcement.  They like all getting together and reviewing cards.   It’s kind of like the white smoke when picking the Pope, of course there is another way to do it they just don’t want to [/quote]

+1 Well said! lol   It’s how we would do things before computers! [/quote]
