Team Rosters for NPS 2K9?

[Scott Woods]

I apologize if my request has caused any hassle. Sorry.

It's not a hassle at all.
We all just need to be mindful of it the next time around.  This is a task we all participate in.

[Bro.Said]

Ha!  I'm busting Said out on this one.

The EC doesn't keep this list.  Teams are supposed to provide this when they register online, but not all teams do because it's so early in the year sometimes.  Then someone posts a thread, so we get some from there just like everybody else.  Lot of overlap between these two sources I'd imagine, but I'm imagining because I don't get that information at any point.

No one has a complete list until registration is over and people show up at the last minute and state their team members and, in some cases, pay for their memberships.

Busted! But really, not even the EC has this info by now? Wow!

[Scott Woods]

The EC can ask for it, but what are WE going to do with it?  Nothing.
The community can ask for it, but what are most of them going to do with it?  Nothing.
The people who have it - tournament staff, registration - are the people who need it.

It's not secret information, but it isn't always easy to get with so many other plates spinning.  I just see how hard everybody is working on stuff and never bother to ask because I'd rather they be working than digging out stuff I don't really need.

[TSPrunier]

If we know our roster and didn't see it posted, may we share?

[kealoha]

[Billy T]

I like the noting of rookies, but if you slammed in a PSI event, you're not a "true" rook anymore are you? Like Heather from Minnesota...

Yay nats!

[tabannon]

I don't know if matters here or not, but one of the my team members had to drop out early on, so the actual team is thus:

Billy D Carpenter
Gabriel McCarthy
Monique Bass
Maja McKeever
Better Ledbetter
