Why should Double Duals and Triple Duals count as multiple meets against the limit of 16 meets for season? How is this in the best interest of the sport? It's certainly not a safety issue for the kids since they run the same races either way. I only see it as hurting the kids since there are more entry limits for Tri's and Quad's.

The only way this makes any difference is if you are running Dual meets for league points. We do. I like it. I think 3 of them are double duals and one is a dual.
If you are running a meet to get kids involved, just run it as an invite. Let as many entries as you want. Score it however you want.
I just had a talk with my kids yesterday about how some rules are stupid to some and not to others, but you have to deal with them. This is one that is so easy to not let make a difference that I would not sweat it. I agree, it's stupid. Amazing that adults actually come up with such a thing. Probably have 10 rules just as dumb at my full time job.
