I'm the other PCAP DE co-reg. I want to add 4 things. I'm NOT saying OP did this, just that in general, these are our big issues:

1) For heaven's sake please read the emails from us. Like the MSR auto-generated post-reg email several folks in this thread have referenced that tell you we don't do acceptances until 4-6 weeks out.

2) Being rude, indignant, or impatient to a bunch of volunteers never helped anyone. So please back off the ledge if you're about to take your frustration out on volunteers who spend 10-20 hours a week helping run these events. Registrars hate waitlists more than you do. I promise.

3) If you think you were ~the 50th person to sign up and you signed up 2 months ago, you probably were >100th and signed up 1 month ago. I don't understand why, but we get this fairly often. Registrars have exact reg dates and times so don't _tell_ us how early you registered and how few people you saw then. I guarantee you we're being fair and following FIFO except for the aforementioned instructors and major PCA volunteers.

4) For the love of all things holy, NO REFUNDS WITHIN 14 DAYS OF EVENT does not mean "unless you lost your clutch at the last event." We all take the risk of mechanicals by virtue of this sport. Or my favorite, "I had forgotten to ask my wife if we were free that weekend and now suddenly 10 days before the event she tells me we aren't." Ummm.... your lack of marital communication is your responsibility to fix, not ours.

And seriously, THANK YOU SO MUCH to the people who simply stick a "thanks for all you do" or similar statement in their emails to us. That goes such a long way toward good will.
