NCap Imvite: Worst time of year. Everyone is tired and sick. Not as fun as Turkey Clause.

Yes, it’s a fast meet.

Appalling, unsportsmanlike behavior during the Men’s 100 free final last night from an NCap swimmer. Disgusting.

It does get so crowded in the stands.


It does get crowded but people shouldn’t be restricted who they can bring to watch. I wish my parents were still around and could come.


They are not restricting. Just $5 a session or $15 for the whole meet per person. This also gets people volunteering.


I've heard that charging spectators is common for most meets in other areas. I guess we should be thankful for the number of "free" meets we get.

I've also had a kid in a basketball league that was $8 per game every week all season!

NCI is just shorthand for the actual name, NCAP Invitational.


Lol, I understand that I just haven’t ever heard a swimmer call it by that name before.


Same. We’re an NCAP family and this is the first year I’ve heard people refer to it as NCI. I’m getting used to it.


The sweatshirts and T-shirts they've sold for the last several years have said NCI on them. I don't think this is new.

Why would people buy meet sheets any longer now that you can get Meet Mobile?

You purchased the virtual meet sheet in meet mobile. Heat/lane assignments were only visible in MM upon purchase.

The meet was not put into meet mobile until after the meet last year.


That would be really annoying.


The meet actually was posted and results were loaded throughout, but the heat/lane assignments were not loaded- only the psych sheet.

I didn’t realize that was the name either and we are with NCAP. But yes, they are all referring to it as NCI. 4 days in College Park here we come! Glad that it doesn’t seem parking is going to be the cluster it has been before.


The kingfisher meet results were printed with NCI next to all the times that qualified. Could have something to do with it. Kids also like shorthand. Everything is sus to them too.


All our club’s emails refer to it as NCI.
