[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What teams have more than 3 swimmers in an event with all star times?  Is this Division A? [/quote]

A, B, C, D & E that I know of. Depends on the age group/sex, but yes.

Lots in A. [/quote]

This is not true if you are in MCSL.  I just looked at the results for various divisions.  [/quote]

We've swam in MCPL A and C. Swimmers with all star times swimming b meets is very uncommon. [/quote]

Not the PP, and I assume you meant MCSL, but I've seen the same thing in our B meets. There were a lot of all star times in B meets this year-several per meet. We're in a middle division.[/quote]

You sure they're not swimming exhibition? You all must have some seriously deep teams to have 7+ freestyle all star times per group and 4+ in other strokes. That just hasn't been our experience. [/quote]

There aren't 7+ all star freestyle times. You can only swim 3 individual events in a Saturday meet. Whatever stroke the top kids didn't swim on Saturday they swim Wednesday, where they are getting all star times. (Wednesday times aren't official though.) Also, occasionally if kids need to be away for a Saturday meet they can do all their strokes on Wednesday. That's just how our team/league has done it. The kids are not swimming exhibition.[/quote]

At our pool you can only swim 3 strokes plus IM in a week (to include both a and b meet). I thought that was an MCSL rule but perhaps it's by pool? Additionally if they score in two events in the a meet, anything swam in b is exhibition. [/quote]

That seems pretty reasonable. [/quote]

That's a pool rule. Each team can set their own rules for B meets. Some teams allow their A swimmers to swim all their events at B meets and others allow none.[/quote]
