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.
