As the chief nay-sayer on any new project, John, you ought to think 
about what this means.  If you had been consulted beforehand, perhaps
those of us who *don't* live with the scorekeeper might still be waiting
a week or two to get the results.

I'm not necessarily excited about pre-registration (I like the illusion
that I can decide whether or not to run at the last minute), or
computerizing everything (I think it is all too easy to make this 
harder, rather than easier).  Nevertheless, I encourage folks to
explore it and see what we can do.  It sounds like there are certainly
plenty of folks who are enthused enough to come up with a proof of
concept and try it out...
