[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't Last year for the first time they gave us a list of names for everyone in a particular age group and stroke. Ex. 9-10 Girls a list of 12 names. It was a big help in that it let us figure a total number of heats.  Less late entrants.

This year there is supposed to be absolutely no day of entries. There will be scratches but it often doesn't change the number of heats.  [/quote]
Thank you for the insights. In this scenario, it would be referred to as "heats on demand," where the clerk of course is responsible for reviewing each swimmer's time and assigning them to appropriate heats and lanes. However, in cases of bad weather, a heat sheet might be a more efficient solution. If the clerk of course notices multiple heats with several no-shows, they could have the discretion to combine heats. While this approach could streamline the process, it also has the potential to cause confusion. Personally, I would prefer having a heat sheet, especially in adverse weather conditions. If it’s raining, it would save children from waiting in the cold while clerks and representatives organize heats. That said, it’s also frustrating to see two heats of 8-and-under freestyle with only 1-2 participants each due to no-shows.s.[/quote]

I was going to suggest this.  B-meets last year were a bust for us, two thunderstorm rainouts.  We're a big club so we do internal meets more often than not.  So basically, just one real B-meet.  At least one of those could have been saved with deck seeding IMO.  So that B-meet kids could have gotten a little more competition.  Our kids also have many kids on the bubble for A-meets and were looking to improve their times, and were just basically denied.[/quote]
