Keith,

Thanks for the feedback. I can bring it up next year. We
(organizers) had multiple discussions on the best way to handle
registration this year. Unfortunately, no matter what we do, some
folks won't get in because we're limited by the number we can
allow. I could creatively come up with a dozen other categories,
too, but the end result is the same: not everyone will get one.

My advice: register as soon as it opens at 7PM (we wanted to give
everyone an opportune time to register...just think, it could have
been 2 am).

My other advice: If you don't get in, volunteer. Who knows, we may
make special concessions to folks who help out.

Cheers,
David
