I really don't think we should look at it like this.  

I don't believe we should limit the number of participants to 28.  
Yes, 50 entries is the limit for medium class, but if we have more 
members who are willing, and desire, to contribute scores, I don't 
think we should artificially limit the number of entries just to stay 
in the medium class.  Not to mention that some folks will miss 
getting logs in, may end up not participating as much as they 
thought, if at all, etc.

I agree that if we field 50 or less, we have a good shot at being 
near the top of the medium class, and that if we submit 51 or more 
scores we may be near the bottom of the unlimited class.  If so, so 
what?  It means we've got a lot of active members, which is a Good 
Thing.

As much as I'd like to win the medium class, I'd rather see a strong 
interest in operating the SS and contributing to the aggregate score.

I'm planning on being on some, just not sure how strong an effort 
yet, nor which category.
