I’ve run the Swimulator conference simulation tool for D3 conferences to see how the standings look now based on top times (minus diving). Part 1 was posted yesterday . If you like this sort of thing, the D1 rankings were posted recently (big conferences , small conferences ). The D2 rankings will be posted next week.
Mid season rankings are a flawed predictor of conference results. Different teams approach in season meets in different ways. However, teams tend to have a consistent approach to mid season meets every year, so comparing this season’s mid season rankings to last year’s rankings at this point and last year’s actual conference scores can give a decent idea of what to expect in February. Teams that picked up a bunch of points last year are more likely to do the same again this year. Teams that saw a big drop off are more likely to be caught by their competitors again. Teams that have noticeably more or less points this year are in a position to perform differently this year than last.
A few of these conferences use non standard scoring or event line ups (18 places or including 50s of stroke). I attempted to match the scoring as closely as possible, but the Swimulator only has 16 place and 24 place scoring.
