The provisions of the NK Short Course has always been years that the limits may be swum in both 50m and 25m pool. This usually produces few problems because most swimmers often swim in a 25m pool and take advantage of the turning points, so most of the swimmers will reach its limits in a 25m pool. Should there still be a swimmer over a certain distance has not reached, then it is always possible use can be made of high performance in a bath 50 meters, for example in summer before the NK.

As of next NWK is for youth ages also used the top-8 at the youth. These swimmers may enroll anyway, even if they have not complied with the limit. A nice way to drain the very fast limits somewhat limit. But it must be properly regulated. In a previous article we gave already that the rankings are far from complete and now we noticed something else: the rankings only include 25m pool times. Now it seems that at first sight no problem, but there are still some drawbacks. Thus, a strong swimmer NK (50m pool) in the summer, swim, this time only if a limit was. Adjusts the time or in the top 8 but it was no limit, you're out of luck. For convenience, only the girls here, because the top-8-line "outside the clearance numbers about half of the swimmers who may pose start on the NWK:

100rug: Michelle de Bruijn (TRB-RES).
In the bath she swam 50m 01/08/90, which had been the 8th time.
100vlinder: Michelle de Bruijn (TRB-RES)
This time in a 50m pool 8/1/14, in a 25m pool is they have not gone according to the rankings as 1.10.66 (12th). The same distance was Maartje de Wit (WVZ, formerly SG Westland Dijk Glass) to 9.1.23 in the 50m pool, which is number 7 had meant, she is now with 1.11.20 as 13th out.

These 2 swimmers were based on their 50m pool time stood neatly in the top 8, were it not that the KNZB in drawing up the rankings so that time has not included. And then it's still awaiting results which are all not in the KNZB have entered / not properly processed.

Update: We have the following questions filed with the KNZB:
Why are 50m pool times not included in the rankings?
May the associations, as for swimmers last weekend are still in the top 8 swam, these girls register their 50m pool time?

In response to this was:
In this we have to abide by the provisions NK, describing that it is the 25 meter track rankings, that are leading in the compilation of the rankings for placement. If swimmers have met the NK limit (25 or 50 meter track) can always be registered. The ranking is precisely formulated for swimmers who have achieved no limit on the basis of the rule in the NK provisions anyway to be able to do.

Our reaction:
Of course, the rankings in accordance with the provisions.
However, there is been a reason in the rankings only 25m pool times and not to engage 50m pool times?
Furthermore, there was quite easily the situation could arise that a swimmer during the swimcup a time in the 50m pool to swim in the top-8 belonged. In that case, a 50m period OR bath can be used for a top-8 registration and for the ladies' 2 are not?
"Times over the weekend of 27-29 November, which swam and still find a place in the top 8 of the youth 1 ranking is achieved can still be used for additional registration (in addition to the 8 already were entitled to subscribe)."
That seems at least strange. Please inform us of you or 2 ladies still with their top-8 50m bath time may be registered if they wish to do so.

Then came just the following reaction:
Times swum at the Swim Cup we had anyway not been included in the placement rankings, ranking only because we rely on the 25 meter track races. With the rule that times swum during the weekend of 27-29 November, can be used for registration, is therefore applicable only in this 25 meter track races. If both girls on the 50 meter track just to the limit have been fulfilled, then nothing in the way of them to subscribe.

It is therefore the case that times out of a bath or 50m could be used for the NK Short Course if a limit is concerned, but not for placement with the ranking. The 2 ladies will therefore need to focus on their other distances (assuming they have one).
