Any more space on that car for me?
Absolutely! You may have to hold a couple laptops and occasionally fetch some oreos, but we will find a way to squeeze you in. You taking a bus to Lexington?

Because you didn't pay yet. When there's limited space, you need to pay in advance. That means paying when you sign up, not signing up, and paying the day before the competition.
Can people explain if this was not clear, so I know what kind of wording to use in the future?

I don't suppose there is a way for paypal to give out some type of verification and have that as part of the registration process? That way people would have to pay BEFORE they could fill in their events.

Also, I was wanting to add a couple of events. Should I just add them and send an additional Paypal payment?

Well, this was originally based off the MN Open script, which gives you the option of paying online (and being cheaper), or paying the day of (and being more expensive). So when I modified it for Washington, I took out the "You can pay the day of" and then suppress them from the competitor list until you pay.
The issue comes with people registering and not paying, because I have no clue how long they're sitting at the Paypal screen (if at all).
I also don't allow duplicate e-mail addresses in the registration list, because it prevents people from registering multiple times, so when those people come in the next time, it gives them an error. Also, I can't just say that if you have the same e-mail, to update the existing entry, because there's no guarantee the e-mail is you. That's why I use CubingUSA accounts to update the registration. Since the account can only be activated if you have access to the e-mail address, then I know it's you.

Will there be an after party anywhere?
Also, I'm gonna go ahead and start with goals.
What I'm competing in:
2x2 - sub 6 average (could be sub 5, sub 4 if I got really lucky
)
3x3 - sub 17 average (could be sub 16, if I get above average solves, then there's a very slight chance I could get sub 15. Doubt it)
If I decide to add any, then:
4x4: Sub 1:15 average
5x5: Sub 2 average
Magic: Sub 1.2 average. I used to be so good at Magic, and then it broke
FMC:
5
3x3 BLD: Sub 3? Maybe. Sub 3 would be really good for me.

Unfortunately not. We can put you on the waiting list for whenever the total goes under 70 due to dropouts and such, but there are already quite a few people on the waiting list.
We don't have one planned, but if you and other competitors want to organize one for yourselves, that's fine.
Ideally you should just send another payment asap with the "send money" tab on paypal, for $2 ($1 for the event, $1 to cover part of the payment that paypal keeps for themselves).

Ok, thanks.
Does anyone want to actually have an after party? If so, where would we have it?

I would be up for dinner, I have yet to meet any other cubers in my area so I am looking forward to meeting some you that I have interacted with here. As far as location, I am not familiar with that area so we could pretty much pick a place after the event.

We already went over the limit to allow those on the waiting list to come anyway. Unfortunately, you were not quick enough to request a spot. I understand that you are (relatively) local, but we cannot accept any more registrations due to the space limitations.
We may have another competition this year, in the summer or fall; I hope you can remember to register early in order to guarantee a spot, though we will try to avoid having a limit next time, by getting a bigger venue.
In the meantime, keep practicing
