Is the Orleans going to have a membership roster or will our membership card be required to sign up? I am thinking about volunteering my wife (who I will sign up as an associate member at the convention) stand in line to sign up all the "electronic chippers" that guaranteed the feasibility of this tourney and gave their commitment to the tourney within a matter of hours.

I am assuming that she will need to gather up membership cards and $30 from each of us and make sure she is the first in line. She could care less about the show, but she loves LV!

So think about that and let me know if this might be something we would want to do. I don't happen to agree with the sign up procedure, but there is nothing we can do about it. However, within the framework of the rules, we can make it work. My wife can be there at 8:00 in the morning if need be. We will need a copy of your membership card and the $30 in advance. Those interested please contact me. I would much rather be in the convention hall, rather than standing in line!

I think pre-regestering should have been allowed, but since it isn't this can work too. It is not us electronic chippers fault that we are organized and can get things done. Without the exectronic chippers here, there would be no line to stand in! Who knows, if we work it right, this may be a case where 2nd in line is too late!

Email contact would be best, no need to clutter the board.
