Yes. I know there was no pre-registration, and I know everyone has been told to "pay at the door" which still applies... But we need all teams that are going to RSVP so we know how many tables should go in the pits etc. Here is the official e-mail from Dan Welsh today

Teams, please let me know if you are attending the Rodeo on Oct 22 at Freedom High School ..... we want to make sure we have pit space and practice slots for all the teams available. Also, if you have a head count on the approx number of team members who will attend, that will be helpful also.

Just reply to me or to Gordon Andrews at Freedom HS Team 1402 ....

My email is: dan.welsh@disney.com

Gordon is at andrewg@ocps.net

See you on the 22nd ....

Dan .

P.S., remember the team registration fee is $100 per team, just bring it to the event. We appreciate your helping with the field costs, etc etc.
