Get the Network Version of AutoX T/S software by Rob Gregg.

We have a hub that can accept up to 8 PC's running registration at once, even
after the event starts!!! As long as the PC has a network card and runs
windows, it can be used. At larger events I bring in my laptop and we have a
total of 5 PC's. By the way, our Ovislink 8 port Hub cost $99.00 and works
perfectly. You can get even better deals at Office Depot for a complete
network kit. Go for the 100mb cards if you can afford it as the network
response is noticeably better.
Some clubs do preregistration, but I find it a logistical nightmare.
