Pretty Much Yes... When Registration Opens for the first time, this Thursday, the choice is do you accept your home event, or do you decline your home event.

If you decline, then when registration opens up for the second event, you are trying to register for two events.

The kicker to this is FiM will hold some registration spots in reserve, for rookie teams that are in the process of forming. Last two years this reserve was 10 teams, so when registration opens for the first and second times, you are registering for events that only have a 30 team capacity. This tends to fill up fast, and ends with many teams being wait listed, and not sure of where they will compete until weeks into the build season. Which just adds stress to the whole process.

So my advise is if you can make your home event, better register for it on Thursday.
