One extra heat in each event adds about one hour to each Friday Prelims session. If only the top 16 advanced to Finals, then Finals would run on the current schedule.
Prelims then would become more competitive and the very best 16 swimmers or relays would then compete in the Finals.
You wouldn't have to make any changes to Saturday. My guess is that you would probably need to start prelims 30 minutes earlier on Friday.

...and we wouldn't have any open lanes in finals!
ReplyDeleteWould be nice to have 24 out for swimming and diving. Other states do it !
ReplyDeleteWhen has Texas/UIL done things like other states? If the UIL would allow split sites then all kinds of things could happen to this meet.
