Additionally, just noticed that 1398 is back. Hopefully they return the same way they went out.

Don't call it a comeback; they've been here for years.

I don't know what's going on with 343; I can only hope they're stuck on the Peachtree waitlist since it filled up during initial event registration. With the Myrtle Beach move, that's almost more their "home" regional than Palmetto is.

Without going into gory details, I've heard similar tales about 2751 and it seems likely they'll be inactive this year. 4452 does contain some ex-2751 people, though apparently not enough to prevent them from claiming rookie status. And they had their act together enough to attend SCRIW and reach alliance captain (and pick us after picking 1398), so there's that.

Also, for those of you that don't know, 88 (TJ^2 from Bridgewater, Massachusetts) registered today for Palmetto. I remember them fondly from when 1618 went to Chesapeake in 2008, but: Buy ear plugs. Lots of them.
