The old system was much more effective. It prevented 'spot squatters' from holding spots that other teams (who had raised the money months in advance) could have paid for the day of registration.
I know of several teams who signed up, knowing they did not have the money and probably weren't going to raise it. They took the spot anyways because it was available and hoped that some kind of miracle funding would just fall into their lap.
