Re: Attendance

Do you guys think pre-registration would help?  That way you could plan
out the run groups more evenly ahead of time.  Also work groups would
be more evenly staffed.  This would practically eliminate on-site
registration except for a few straglers.  Just show up for tech and
then grid or work the track.  

Also I don't think not having a PA system was that much of a problem. 
Using one of those FRS walkie-talkies I was able to hear any
announcements being made from anywhere at the event.  I think whoever
is doing the announcing just needed to be alittle more active.  That's
all I've got.
