2011 Miss Ohio Sweeps Eligibility

As with every local pageant, message board posters are asking who is competing in Sweeps. I find this sooooo annoying for several reason. No one is going to see that post and say, "oops, I totally forgot I had the list right here in my back pocket..." If contestants get the list at a forum or per email, it'll come out without any baiting. Some pageants are known for getting pre-pageant press or listing their contestants on their website, but past that, any response you get on a message board is pure speculation. Sweeps has neither a forum nor press, so what's the point? To be perfectly honest, I think those posts annoy me mainly because I fear people think maybe it's me; it's not. Most local directors in Ohio know where to find me and if they choose to trust me with their list I greatly appreciate it. If I don't get a list and have extra time, I may see if the usual suspects have posted about competing on Facebook. In the case of Sweeps, the possibilities are so vast, I'll just be waiting for a text message or email the day of (for which I'm also very grateful). How vast? Around 65 ladies are eligible, but the program is usually lucky to get 20 competitors. Here they are, organized by how often they competed this season:
