What is a closed meet? 

There are two definitions: 

1) A closed meet is a meet that can no longer accept entries.  As per USA Swimming, a session cannot go beyond 4 hours.  Once the meet has reached that four hour limit, due to entries, the session or meet is closed to any new entries. 

2) A closed USA meet is open to certain clubs via invitation only. (We are invited to UDAC Closed Invite in Feb. Being an invited team ensures we cannot get shut out of that meet.)
