[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Next year NVSL will use an age adjusted formula to determine all winners.  Similar to how power points are calculated in club swim but with more fidelity (i.e., age to the month instead of year).  Input data will be collected during Saturday A meets, scaled using age-adjustment weighting factors, recompiled and accessed in a virtual meet style event with the final official team results announced Tuesday evening.  It might take longer but at least kids at the bottom of the age group will have a shot at pulling off those virtual wins on a level playing field.  Waiting for the Tuesday evening results to post will be exhilarating.[/quote]

We did that in the CSL last year, but everyone agreed it was too anticlimactic.  Instead every Wednesday after the B meets, we draw ping pong balls lotto style (broadcast live on YouTube!) and that determines the age cutoff for that weeks A meet.

Now we did have some controversy since the draw for the third A meet was February 30, which was changed to February 28, but a few parents were adamant it should be March 2 (at least in non-leap years). [/quote]
