I cannot render an opinion, since the new USFA website will sort the confirmed entry lists only alphabetically or by Division, not by event. ( A stupid omission, IMO. ) I do not chose to spend my time laboriously sifting through the whole list and teasing out the MS and VetMS fencers on my own.
Div 1 MS:
Ivan Lee, Keeth Smart, Segey Isayenko, Tim Morehouse will make up part of the 8. Not that I'm going out on a limb here by any means.
There are alot of foreign names I don't recognize on the list, I assume college students from abroad.
I predict that the lone unrated fencer in the tournament will surprise a few people

My guesses for WS:
Baratta, Emma L
Borrmann, Sarah V
Gaillard, Amelia F
Jacobson, Emily P
Thompson, Caitlin A
Ward, Rebecca C
Kuzniak, Katarzyna
Jacobson, Jacoba (Jackie) J
For the veteran WS events:
Turner, Delia M (rooting for ya!)
DFP may want to revise his predictions to avoid naming anyone not attending.
Good call.... substite peter french for zucker.

It is extremely, unreasonably easy to sort entries by event, since the USFA has kindly provided them in textual format, if you have a Linux or other Unix system (e.g. Mac OS X), so I have decided to provide them to all the unenlightened Windows users. I know the DV1 entries were already posted by event, but I figured I'd put them all in one easily accessible place. Further events in the next replies, because of the stupid 5-attachment limit.
He was on the original list that was posted, that had everyone on it. Not the ones that are sorted by event tho.
I assume someone made an error while sorting them.

I guess there are so few "Z" names that they weren't included on the confirmed list, per se. If you do a search through the division entries, you will find them. For example, Mariel Zagunis in Oregon Division. I pick her to win, with 7 others from Oregon to follow her, in no particilar order:
Ward
Thompson
Keltner
Borrmann
Providenza
Hassett?
Wheeler
