Solo participation too high?

Let me preface this post by saying, yes, I'm bummed that I'm on a
waiting list for the Peru National Tour, and I know it is my fault for
not entering earlier.

The reason my questions are coming up:  The Peru National Tour is at
around 350 entries (with a limit of 300) and probably still growing.

Time to stir the pot...

For "The Road to Topeka!" ProSolo and National Tour events, do we have
too many entrants?

Should there be some sort of additional prerequisites needed to enter?
Like regular participation or past finishing results?

Do more entrants make the events better or just simply bigger (making
them take longer)?

If participation continues to grow like this for the National events,
how early will you have to send in your registration so you are
guaranteed to get in under the maximum number of participants for a
given event?  One month... two... three months?  As soon as the
schedule/entry forms are available?


While I don't actually think implementing entry prerequisites would
actually work out, it would be nice to go to events with good
competition without having to be at the event site from dawn to dusk for
3 runs a day at Tours (or short 8 and 4 run days at Pro's).

Since I don't think I'll be able to get into the Peru Tour (unless they
open it up to 350 people or something), enjoy the event!  I'll miss the
competition in SS as well as watching all the other classes!  Guess I'll
be off to Mid-Ohio instead for the double regional to go road racing.
