CHANGE TO PAC MASTERS RULES
The Pacific Masters Committee is considering  making a change to the 
Guide to Operations in that "All entries must include an entry time. 
No Time will be assigned an estimated time." the committee is also 
considering if a competitor enters a time that is much." Also if 
swimmers enters a seeded event with a time significantly slower than 
his recorded time, the meet director may change the seeded time with 
a realistic time.
