 have large rides (100+) so that if they all had to register at the ride,
 the line would be too long and time consuming.  As it is, all the
 riders' packets are ready, in a box in alphbetical order and they just
 have to pick it up without having to wait in a line unless for some
 reason their entry is incomplete (failed to sign liability, still owe
 money, etc.)  The riders even take a vet in priority number and these
 numbers are called in lots of 10 so that there is minimal waiting to vet
 in.  Of course, the rider gets a full refund if they do not start or do
 not show.  I don't require a note from their mother either (although I
 appreciate a call to let me know they are not coming).
 
 That's what so great about the different rides-- every mananger gets to
 handle their rides whichever way suits them.  And the riders get to vote
 by attending the rides if they like the way the rides are run.
