Spring 2012 Nationals: Guess the attendance

Next Friday is the last day to get your entries in for Greensboro. So, what do you think the attendance will be (of swimmers, that is)? Closest guess gets a :chug: or :wine: from me. Or, for those Forumites who would rather pass on that offer (I am well aware of who you are...), bragging rights. By the way, I still owe Patrick (PWB) for winning last time! My guess, since this is 2012: 2012 :D

  • This was exactly my guess in the Championship Committee contest. I now suspect it was low because I just found out that 493 entries are from NC Masters (we just got an email about relays). Considering there are 1243 members currently registered in the LMSC, that's a pretty high "in house" participation rate (about 40%) for nationals. NEM is sending 58 which is higher than the 40+ that went to Mesa.
