Re: Registration 2011

FIM (First in Michigan) is running our registration a bit differently. While teams are signed up, they are ALL going on the waitlist. FIM is going through and assigning each team's district based on their "closest" one. So if you picked your closest regional, it's very very likely you will get it.

This is a cost savings measure to make sure that teams that are traveling do not lock out a local team from their local competition. It's a smart move too in this economy and I was happy to hear they were doing it this way.

I don't have all the exact details of how it's working, but the idea that all the closest teams get to go to their closest district is important for teams that do Traverse City and the West Michigan events.
