The answer is (D) 2200. Rumors have spread over the years about how many people had to be turned away at the finals of the Shaker Invitational Tourney (now Girmindl Tournament) in 1979-80, but my most reliable source thinks that estimates over 500 are absurd. Still, can you imagine 2700 people tryinig to get into a Shaker game - wow!
