OK, Forumites, today's the last day to sign up for Nationals at Auburn. This isn't much of a game, but it's a forum tradition. So, how many swimmers will be signed up to swim at Auburn? Winner gets a round of :applaud: and a :wine: . Hey, if you find me at Nationals and introduce yourself as the winner, I'll even buy you a :chug: on Saturday, after the conclusion of the meet! :D
Good luck!
:cheerleader:
I'll start it off with: 888

I may be misremembering, but I think in all but one of those cases (Omaha), the host was the only one to submit bid for nationals.
Clovis was my favorite nationals partly because of all the warmup space. I've heard from those who went to PR that it was great. I'm looking forward to Auburn.
I don't doubt that the meets are fun, where ever they are held. I've had fun at every nationals I've been to, even when I've swam poorly.
I was referring more to the awkward locations (for many to get to).
I naively assume that hosting nationals is a money maker for a club; that may not be the case. But if it is, why are there so few bids? Is it the logistics of hosting the meet (needing 100s of volunteers)?
