[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The team list is in the back of the shirt. The only one I notice missing from last year is the St James. At least one new team.

It looks like the same big teams and some of the small teams have been switched with some other teams.  This is a really small meet with clubs limited to 80 entrants total (Marlins 120 entrants as host).[/quote]

NCI had 8,727 entries last year, Winter Classic had 7,806.  One random PVS Nov open (the only one I checked) had 4,193 entries.  Maybe the bar for “really small” is less than 8,000 entries, not my area of expertise. [/quote]
There’s a difference between entrants (the total number of swimmers who are entered in the meet) and the number of entries (the total number of swimmers entered in each event, so each swimmer could conceivably count 7x since they are allowed to enter 7 events). [/quote]

5,156 for NCI, 4,007 for Winter Classic, 1,618 for  November open.  So maybe the bar is 5,000 entrants.  [/quote]
I don’t know what kind of special math you are doing but there were not 4,000 individual swimmers at Winter Classic last year, there was just short of 900.[/quote]

Maybe you’ve never looked at the timeline distributed before every single meet.  Each session has a “swimmer count for warmups” and “total entries”.  NCI and winter classic have 17 sessions.   [/quote]
Oh sweetie, looking at the count for warms ups or entries for each session and then adding them all together isn’t going to give you the correct number of swimmers because most swimmers are swimming in multiple sessions so you are counting them multiple times. Just go to swimcloud or swim standards for the actual number of swimmers participating in the meet. There absolutely were not 4000 swimmers at Winter Classic last year.[/quote]

Nobody said there were 4,000 swimmers at winter classic.  There were’t 5,000 at NCI; you’d have to host at Byrd stadium.  4,000 was a comparison to the ~5,000 of NCI, to add perspective to the comment that winter classic is a really small meet. [/quote]
If you go back and look at the exchange with that poster that is exactly what they were saying. Someone explained to them the difference between entrants and entries and then they dropped the number to 4,000 after initially claiming it was like 7,000. Then they tried saying they got their number from the timelines. [/quote]
