How many people compete in the US Memory Championships?

I’ve read that in 2006 there were 36 competitors. But I have not been able to find anything on how many compete in more recent years. I assume it is a LOT more.

If anyone has numbers (rough or otherwise) on the world championship as well I would love them.

Thanks!

This is a typical year, sometimes a little more
