OK people, lots of people expressed dismay about registering for the last few SSWC races. How about people presenting alternatives without moaning? Here is mine:
First reserve spots for the locals involved in getting the event ready. Then reserve spots for pro types, people that won previous SSWC races, people that won various National or regional SS championships, people that organized previous SSWC races (not just sitting at a intersection directing racers or picking up kegs of beer), infamous characters (ex. Jacquie Phelan) and then have a registration lottery for the rest. Allow registration to be open for a period, say one week, and then randomly select from that pool the people to get slots. This will eliminate the click speed and time zone as part of the equation.
One problem I see, jackballs will register 100 times to try to increase their chances of being picked. Could be eliminated by requiring registration to be with your real name, so duplicates can be deleted. You would then have to show ID to pick up your packet which some might consider so evil, but F those people. Any name on the list without a matching passport of driver's license will be eliminated and the spot given to somebody on the waiting list.
