the judge’s card was blank but a Russian and Singaporian signed off on it anyway. That doesn't fly even in summer league folks.

It's pretty hard to get a DQ on back except at the turn or finish. Commentator and former olympian/Auburn (last year's mens and womens swimming national champs) swimmer Rowdy Gains formcouldn't see anything wrong with the turn and it was very well caught on tape. Assuming the rules are the same as in age group swimming all that is required is that the roll from front to back must be a continuous motion with only one arm stroke. I've wondered since my quicky swim judge training if head bob movements break that rule but I see them all the time.

PS Brandy got fourth in 100IM and 8th in 50 fly at the Georgia State Class A championships in the 15-18 age group. Not bad considereing she wasn't even ranked that high on her own team in Mobile which had three sure bet future SEC swimmers.
