If they are only hosting 2 meets wouldn't they want to host divisionals to make up the difference/add a home meet?
It’s a leverage play. And they’ll likely get what they want.
They know everyone else wants to swim in the fastest pool at Divisionals, which makes it an easy leverage play for them.
Need the fastest pool to get your all stars in. You don’t want lower divisions taking the spots.
And then they all time at All Stars bc no blocks.
Wait there are blocks at Tuckahoe?
No, they’re not permitted in the NVSL. Tuckahoe has a high edge and internal gutters so it’s “fast” for kids whose times matter down to the tenth of a second.

I think the edge/deck of the pool is just higher than a typical pool.

Our pool volunteers and we usually get it every few years. It's a huge money maker for the team when we get to host.

Really? If there is a pool with 8 lanes, I would want them hosting divisional meets.
Even if they are the usually furthest pool from other pools

Oh that’s so sad. I know one of them personally, swimming seems to bring out the worst in what is otherwise a really nice guy.
