I've not done any analysis to see if left coasters & westerners were disproportionately under-represented on the Auburn psych sheets, but wondering if the SPMA/Southwest Zone meet (www.clubassistant.com/.../meet_information.cfm might garner a bigger turnout than Nationals?
Who's going to Mission Viejo?
Unless this meet receives a gob of registrations between now and tomorrow, it won't even be half the size of the Pacific Championships (402 swimmers).
Hey, Jim: relax - registration will stay open until Aug. 5, so you still have a lot of time to sign up.
By the way, here's the attendance trend for SPMA's championship meets:
For SCY championship meets - 2009: 381 swimmers ... 2010: 425 ... 2011: 257. The 2011 meet was held two weeks after nationals, whereas the 2010 meet was two weeks before.
For LCM championship meets - 2008: 222 swimmers ... 2009: 356 swimmers ... 2010: 257 swimmers.
The biggest SPMA championship meet has tended to be the Short-Course Meters championship that is staged by the Long Beach Grunions in December. Here's that trend - 2008: 560 swimmers ... 2009: 648 ... 2010: 516.
