It depends on strokes. I believe free and fly had most scratches in coaches LC, which I think would be similar for all stars as the kids good at free and fly usually do well in other strokes too and not quite so the other way.

Lots of scratches in Female 12&U 100M Medley

Wow indeed.

To clarify, times from a meets and divisionals so is included

Divisionals are for the team’s place in the division so they do matter, just not for individual all stars. MCSL uses best times from any A meet to seed all stars: so much more preferable for so many reasons IMO: gives kids 5 chances in presumably different pools, can take more than 2 kids per team, best kids can be seeded in more events and then they scratch. Feels more equitable to me.

Oh, people do, OP is probably just someone nosy who doesn’t have a kid participating.

I am not OP but our coach doesn’t send them to kids or parents you have to look them up yourself. So not necessarily someone nosy who doesn’t have a kid participating.

For some age groups, fly was least scratched stroke at LC. If we were making vast generalizations, usually younger IM gets scratched.

Also, fyi, futures is that weekend, so lots of top 13/14 and 15/18s scratched, though some still swimming.
