I know about the gate/warm body distinction. (Worldcons count you once and only once regardless of whether you're there all five days or for five minutes.) I am unsure how other events count their numbers.
By the "unless you're the biggest," measure, then no US-based event "wins." But that doubtless would make the "big is all that matters" crowd's heads go all 'splody, so they'd find a way around it.
