Personally, I'd rather stick with the loudspeaker requests - because then everyone's going to hear it instead of having to actively check the website. That definitely wouldn't have worked, though, in MARCMP's all-in-one-room venue.

If there were a way to 'subscribe' to the event's notifications (think FRCMega-style) I'd be all over it, but the way it was implemented at MARCMP wasn't very helpful at all. I know we had to give up on it because logging into it from people's personal cell phones ended up locking them out of all other data traffic on their device (something with the specific wi-fi network, IIRC). Not good when kids' parents were trying to reach us.
