Hi Belinda,

""""""""""I don't think that doing sign-ups on the day of the tournament would cause anyone to lose time in the showroom.

From what I've witnessed in the past, a lot of members spend show time standing in the halls visiting. Is there that big a difference when standing in line to sign-up?"""""""""""""

I disagree, it does take up time to stand in a registration line. I personally waited in line over 3 hours last year to register for the 1999 Tournament.
(And only about 30 minutes to get knocked out of the competition, but that's a whole other story.... <<gg>>)

At the risk of sounding like a total pig, could I infer from your posting that you would be willing to accept signup money and a list of names of interested participants, stand in line, and register us?

Best,
