I agree that measures need to be taken to ensure entry is smooth and safe for everyone... but at the same time, I think it's a bit early to be calling out FIRST for not doing anything this year - we're still a week out from the event! It's entirely possible they have plans in place for additional measures to make things more orderly, and simply didn't include them in the A-Z guide.

While the guide is great and contains a lot of good information, I don't think it covers anything near 100% of the information you accumulate in just the first day of being at champs and figuring out how things work.

I can tell you one thing - half of all teams don't read e-mails pertaining to the events their attending, and even less check websites for information about those events. I know we get hammered with questions from team leaders leading up to every regional, when the information they're asking for was included in an e-mail blast and is on our local website.
