I agree on this point. I build networks for computer game tournaments
on the side. We've had web-based registration for years now. We
surely wouldn't survive without it and we only run tournaments twice a
year. There are only 350-400 people attending such an event so it
could be handled manually if needed but who in their right minds would
want to? I'm sure that DonaLeigh Engstrom, Cheryl Burns and everyone
else that runs registration would love to be able to look up a
registration verification number on a print out and send the attendee
on to the next station. Heck, I'd even put the secure web server
together just so I could use it! =)
