[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t sound very familiar with A meet at a dual meet format. Do you have a HS or college swimmer (I do and I was one- which means I’m also very familiar with club meets). [b]So A meats run one heat of boys and one heat of girls.[/b]  If you mix genders you have two heats 3 scoring entries  per team per event. A trans girl swimmer would have to fill a male slot in the entries and then you could race them based on time, the fastest heat would usually be all the boys and the first heat girls (but you’d have a few exceptions especially at teams without a lot of year round swimmers)[/quote]

This isn’t rocket science. Enter the kids and their seed times. Run the mixed gender/age heats. Calculate the scores at the end depending on time. The times supercede the order of heat finishes. Accept thanks from parents for a shortened meet. [/quote]

I don’t think you know how nvsl ‘a’ meets work.  USA seimming meeting are not run like ‘a’ meets.  In an a meet each team gets to enter 3 boys and 3 girls in each age group event.  They are assigned lanes by team, not by time.   So there is not a way to accommodate’ a biological boy who wants to swim in the girls event.   It’s definitely not shortening the meet.  The meet is just 1 heat of everything.    B meets vary much more.  [/quote]
