If you didn't catch Brian's sarcasm.. our registration tends to fill up quickly! Our slowest year took 30 mins to fill, and only because we accidentally forgot to announce what day/time it would open!
Last year, registration opened at 8AM. The 48th team registered at 8:02:13.9. The 49th team.. 8:02:14 (yes, we have to clock it in tenths of a second). If we had gone to 54 teams last year, like we are this year, it would have been full at 8:02:39.1
While some folks don't like the randomness/luck of this style of registration process, we'd rather that than us decide who should attend!
As an aside, the registration page turns on automatically at a designated time (1200 this year), but it usually takes until the end of that minute for it to actually show. So.. don't panic if it's 12:01 before the page shows for you.. it'll show at the same time for everyone.
