[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The meet was well run and organized-kudos!

Pinecrest is an old school summer pool. Smallish clubhouse with field and tennis courts next to pool within a neighborhood. I think it proved with the right planning and organization many NVSL pools could host such an event. Parking was mainly on the neighborhood streets and spectators didn’t have bleachers on deck that they sat in the entire time. I think if Pinecrest could host such an outstanding event, then many,
many other NVSL clubs (hopefully with a deeper diving end) could host a league wide event. Whatever excuses other clubs have thrown out why they couldn’t, Pinecrest proved you wrong with IAS.[/quote]

I agree that Pinecrest did a great job.  I don't really agree that it shows many could host.  Specifically with respect to parking, the neighborhoods surrounding Pinecrest all appeared to have 2 car garages with big driveways.  So there was very little parking on the streets from residents and it was all 'open' for the meet.  Closer in, this is simply not the case, and the streets are already heavily parked so relying on street parking for this many people would be a zoo.  There is also a pool much further out- maybe virginia run, that has an ordinance that doesn't allow parking within 10 feet of someone's mailbox- which similarly really restricts on street parking availability.
Pinecrest had a huge field to set up tent city.  It was very nice.  I don't actually think that many pools have fields that large.  Also, I am very glad it was dry and not muddy- if it had been muddy it would have been a huge mess and the field would have been completely destroyed.[/quote]
