Bad timing on the senior games. Why don’t they have the games during February or March so more part time residents can compete? There are a couple events I’d very much like to enter, but the games always conflict with responsibilities that force me back up north.

Maybe they don’t want extra participation. Lot of work? I think we’re lucky to have them here anyway. When I first got I remember couple senior games held little earlier, then they went back to April.

In the spirit of both competition and fairness to all Villages homeowners, one would think they would want to provide an opportunity for as many Villages homeowners to participate in the games. Also, the good folks competing in the games deserve the opportunity to test their skills against all Villages, not just those who are lucky enough to be here year round. How can a winner of an event say they are the best in the Villages, when they only compete against a subset of all potential competitors? Personally, I’d welcome the opportunity to see how I could do against my age group in both the 200 IM and 100 backstroke swimming events.

Sr Games previous times/scores?
 
Is there a place to find prior years scores or times for events? I googled the topic but only found a few running event times? Swimming?

Isn't April part of SnowBird season? January through May or June, right?
