If you let us know before the event begins, you can get a credit. If you just don't show on Sunday, you'll forfeit the fee. That said, I hope to see you both days. You'd be a favorite to win some money.Steve Abbott wrote:Hi George,
I'm signed up for both days, but I might only go Saturday. Should I just leave it, in case I go? If I don't go, do I get charged for it?
thanks,

The run order won't be determined until sometime after the end of early registration on June 12. The entrants will be analyzed and groups balanced to equalize workers. Our normal championship run order won't have any bearing on the final order run order. The normal rotation will resume for the event following the divisional.Steve Abbott wrote:thanks George for the answer. One more question. Is there a run order? Will it be like our normal Championships with a morning group, afternoon group?
thanks again.

What do you mean? It still seems to be quite competitive, with you, Max and Seb all fighting it out for top honors... Oh wait. You weren't referring to the announcer job? Different BS. I still think Max is leading, though.George Schilling wrote:

Can I change my Class to BS NOV? I registered before I saw the posts that we can run in the novice class.
Thanks!

Doesn't really matter. Christine will be going by name to re-class/re-number people where they are currently earning points for the Championship events. So as long as you don't use a pseudonym, you'll be fine.Byron Goodman wrote:Byron Goodman wrote:George,

Actually, a correction to my original request - I signed up originally as SK1 BS, but it seems to be able to get my Novice points, I should instead be running in the B Stock group - am I right?
George did scream that last week on all the message boards I frequent. Perhaps you mean do it again though.Steve Ekstrand wrote:You guys need to pound the Hell out of the fact that Early registration closes on June 12 and then fees skyrocket. I think that's a colossal mistake and will bite you in the ass. But that said, start SCREAMING from the roof tops that you need to register by June 12. If I woke up the week before the event and tried to register only to find I had to pay an extra $50 per entry, I would skip the event.
My opinion. }:)

I'm in the same boat as Craig. At this point If it's going to cost me 50 on top of plane tickets down from seattle i'm probably a no show.Craig Naylor wrote:I still don't know if I can attend (for sure). I'm willing to register if I can get a full refund if work plans change. Other wise I'm in the boat Steve stated, that if I wait until I know 100%, there's no way I'm paying an additional $50.00!
I guess those who decided the pricing structure (since it was not during a Board meeting) must have jobs where they control their work schedule, and are not at the whims of others creating a schedule. I get wanting to have an idea how many will attend in advance to help in planning process, and offering a discount for such, but wheres our cost increase to substantiate the $50.00 price increase for those who can't commit two weeks out? The National Tour and Pro Solo only have a $36.00 late penalty, and they have paid staff to consider!
I agree BAD, decision. (in my opinion)
Craig
I realize my work situation is not typical, for me it's not a matter of deciding to take a day or two off, it's a matter of 4-6 weeks of work / or not. Considering I'm out of work until a new contract's signed (for the manuf 's project I work on), I may not know until a day or two prior if I can attend.Rick Brown wrote:Technically, you have until midnight June 17 to decide since you can cancel without penalty until that date.
Thanks for your comments Craig. I understand your dilemma, but it's really not as dire as you're making it out to be. The reason for the draconian penalty as you put it is so that we have time to organize and analyze run and work groups and assign work positions. As this is very time consuming, the penalty is imposed to ensure that all but a few will have registered on time so we can properly organize the competition. Perhaps next year you could volunteer for the position of organizing this portion of the competition and we can adjust this portion of the event as you see fit.Craig Naylor wrote:I realize my work situation is not typical, for me it's not a matter of deciding to take a day or two off, it's a matter of 4-6 weeks of work / or not.

We typically only need to "pre-register" by midnight on the second day prior, works great for my work situation. Otherwise theirs a minor fee increase for day of registration. But there's no pre reg requirement, or advance pay mandate. I don't see the need to require such here, and specifically the 62.5% penalty fee on top of the registration fee. Most government imposed penalties for being late aren't half that bad, and those would not apply until after the "event".
There are those who keep preaching make things easier and more friendly to increase numbers. This draconian penalty dosen't give me a happy warm feeling.

The people who will miss it aren't the ones on the boards every minute. Its the ones who will log in a week before the event to get info.KJ Christopher wrote: George did scream that last week on all the message boards I frequent. Perhaps you mean do it again though.

Unless you know something I don't, that won't help. They have a small overnite lot which can be reserved for customers. Is kept chained at night. I'll come up with something, but I thought we might have had several overniters at the Pro Solo -- they had to go somewhere.Aaron Goldsmith wrote:There's the traveland USA right outside of marine way.
