Give us an update. What kind of response has there been since the deadline has been extended? What kind of numbers are we looking at? When is the new official deadline to close entries?
The deadline was not extended. I don't know what you read to get that impression.
The following was copied and pasted from the Pacific Masters Update of June 18, 2006:
WORLDS
We are still working on totalling up the entries, so far there are 7,100 entries from over 75 countries. Over 5,400 athletes will be competing in swimming and 900 swimming will be competing in open water. There are 75 water polo teams with 14 women's water polo teams (at Riccione, there were only 2 women's teams). Of the 5,400 athletes in swimming, 1,400 are from Pacific Masters.
Worlds will be the largest swim meet held in the United States. It is also the largest Master's meet held in the United States. Stanford will keep the record as the place of the largest meet as it will be superseding the 1987 USMS Short Course Championships where 2328 swimmers competed.
