That is interesting. For age group meets, we usually get 95% of the entries in the first 3 days. After that we get a trickle here and there, and may get something bigger if a team gets shut out from somewhere else. Just like adults to procrastinate and hold on to our money until the last minute.
Back when I was coaching age group swimmers in New Jersey, we would enter the meets early because we didn't want to get locked out of the meet. There was a cutoff for the number of swimmers allowed to enter meets, and if you entered late, you risked being locked out. USMS doesn't have need that incentive for local meets, and we don't appear to have the problem with too many people at Nationals either. So, the quota incentive might not work for us - but the discount for early entries might work.
It will be interesting to hear more about news ideas discussed among the Championship Committee.
