I think that it is great too. But last year, within 2-1/4 hours there were 50 registrants. And registration was closed just more than a week after it opened. However, I expected registration to go slower this year - a heftier registration fee, non-refundable first night of hotel, and opening registration about 2 months earlier than last year. I am confident that it will sell out as the time gets closer and more people can commit to the non-refundable deposits.

I must say that I wholeheartedly support the non-refundable deposits. It makes people really think hard before registering, which is a good thing to cut down on the work the organizers have.
