Anyone know what the entry deadline will be for the SCY 2004 national meet?
Reason I ask -- the meet is rather early this year (April 22-25). In New England, we are looking to schedule our local SCY championship meet. It would be nice to be able to have our meet before the entry deadline for the nationals, so that people can use times from our meet to enter.
(Seems to me it makes sense for USMS to push the entry deadline as close to the meet as practical, since I imagine lots of other LMSCs will have SCY championship meets right around the entry deadline.)

One other suggestion -- it is one we are considering here in NE for our meet: Entry fees based on entry date. I.e., if you send your entry in early, it's cheaper, and if you send your entry in late, it's more expensive. By a couple dollars. I wonder if that kind of incentive would help. (I wonder out loud for our own meet's purposes.)
We've also considered a more extreme form of this -- something such as, you can enter after the entry deadline, but for a $20, or $30 or something penalty.
I'm happy to handle one or two very last-minute entries, especially if they are financially lucrative. :-)
