Nice work, Gene!
OK Gene, let's have your best prediction for 2010. What will the total be?
tOM,
We have seen so much increase so far, my guess would be about 2471 for the year 2010. it would be an increase close to 25%.
Let's see if any others want to make a guess. Whoever gets closest to the real number will win a gift from RRTC.

Gene,
To make a truly informed guess at the total, we need to also see how many courses had been measured through October of each year. Realizing that is an overburdening request, I will take a shot with 2380 courses, total, for 2010.
Thanks for the summary. Very interesting numbers!

This contest needs rules. Here are mine, to be approved or amended by Gene:
Estimate must be submitted to Gene Newman or posted on the BB by 11PM, EST, November 9, 2010. Your first guess counts. Only one guess accepted.
Number of 2010 courses will be determined by the course list as downloaded from the USATF search site on January 5, 2011. More 2010 courses will likely drift in after that date but they won't count, in the interest of having the contest have a reasonable finish time.

My guess is 2379 and my wife says her guess is 2381. Just kidding! Make mine 2300.
But you might want to make another rule about how close your guess can be to others, or guessing early might put you at a big disadvantage.

I suggest a second chance for those who've posted their answers already.
I would say 2239 for the year.
Mark, I hope you are in VA Beach in December!
My prediction will remain 2380, in spite of Mark's efforts to box me in.

OK I can see that you all (except Gene) are guessing. Here's my scientific prediction.....2290. This was arrived at by writing each guess, except Gene's on a card. I selected Gene as the base because I only had 4 cards. The cards were thrown in the air and the numbers on those that landed with the numbers up were averaged. I then added 25 to the average, mainly because I like the number 25. There you have it. The only scientific prediction. 2290 courses certified in 2010 on file as indicated by the USATF list on 1/15/2011
