[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former team rep for a high division NVSL team - I can assure you that I had no input into the meet sheet for A meets. Our team lets the coach pick the line-up. The team reps for our team only intervene if a swimmer we know is unavailable for the meet is selected. I wouldn't be on a swim team where a team rep had that kind of power. We also publish our ladder so the A meet selection process is very transparent. [/quote]

Wow, wish our D1 team would publish a ladder. We have no idea how the kids stack up and there is no transparency. It’s like Oz behind a curtain. [/quote]

After time trials and one B meet,
All you had to do to know where your kid stacks up in their age group is pay attention.  Pro tip: read the time boards with the spinning number wheel after heats of each relevant event. [/quote]

Pro tip from the lazy parent who isn't volunteering. Unless you're working tables, volunteers can't see every lane of every heat to keep track of all the times.

Uhh timers can see every lane’s timing board.  Pro tip: turn around.  Table workers, announcers get times handed to them.  Marshals either don’t have to move or have to move a few feet in order to see any relevant times. [/quote]

The lane one timer better not be wandering over to lane six to read some other kid's time and delaying the start of the next event. And then writing it down somewhere? Why isn't the answer just providing the data team-wide again?[/quote]

Exactly. If you have the data, just freakin’ share it already. Other teams can and do. Why is this asking too much? [/quote]

1. Control
2. A sense of power in a recreational league, "just for fun" league meant to attract people to the sport
3. Shady coaching and shady decision making[/quote]
