[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those new to Championship Meets and swim meets in general:

If an athlete makes Finals, doesn't scratch, and fails to appear, that athlete faces penalties.

Additionally, if a meet cannot run to ensure fair and equitable competition, including staffing minimums,  the [b]meet will not be held until those minimums are met. [/b]Everything done on these decks are for the athletes.

Timer slots are not assigned for finals; finals requires timers. Competing is an option; if parents are unwilling to collectively step up and be willing to volunteer, have your athlete scratch from finals or be patient until the minimums are met to ensure fair and equitable competition. [/quote]

Yeah, that didn’t happen. At senior champs, the meet (1500) WAS held but doors were not opened.

- take the money you’re putting towards bag checkers and pay for timers

- advertise for service hours to HS kids to time

- charge an entry fee and pay timers (campus was full of students)

- come up with reasonable solutions (telling timers they have to stay the whole finals session is not reasonable when their kid may be in the first event OR say upfront no guaranteed entry into the facility until we have timers but for every session you time, you get a wristband allowing you entry to an evening session, etc)

The solution to start the meet (which they did at senior champs) and then not let anyone (even previous timers) in is absurd.[/quote]
