We've talked about going for two days, with a one-event idea, running half the
classes one day, the rest the second. One thing that troubles me, besides being
able to get a large site in a central location for two days, is, since this is
one
event, what is to preclude someone from running each day in two different
classes?
What's wrong with that? Well, this person would have had practice on the first
day. The registrar (we're talking about around 200 entries) couldn't possibly
remember who ran Saturday...
Just a thought.
