[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are MCSL. You can swim in a B meet IF you are not swimming that event in an A meet. We love A meet swimmers who show up to B meets to cheer on the rest of their team trying very hard although it doesn't count for points. Our B meets are super fun for that reason. [/quote]

Similar, from another MCSL team.  You can swim in freestyle in a B meet if you swam it in an A meet but were not one of the top three finishers for our team.  For other events, you cannot swim them in the B meet if you scored a point in the preceding A meet, so the only way you can swim the same events is if you finish last in your event.  We often have kids who only swim A meets come and cheer at the B meets so ours are fun, too.

I'm glad we're not in NVSL.  I think it's poor sportsmanship to allow a kid who scores points in an A meet event to swim that same event at a B meet.[/quote]

You can't in NVSL either. But only top three swimmers score points in A meets, so 4th and 5th could race again in addition to 6th.[/quote]

B Meets are not under NVSL governance so while most pools have the policy that you can not swim a stroke at a B meet if you placed 1-3 at the previous A meet it is simply up to coaches and team reps to enforce and sometimes there are reasons a kid will still swim a stroke they placed in at the previous A meet, for example some younger kids will still swim Breast or fly Monday night if they are working on something technique wise as kids can be very inconsistent at that age.
