[Deptheads] Flames of War Tournament: OrcCon 2010

Wed Sep 2 21:30:54 PDT 2009

How would you want it collected?

What procedure would you prefer:

1. attendee pays convention fee as well as $10 to Bill and he turns in the
convention fee to you (as Broadside bash does)?
2. Attendee pays $10 to bill and does normal registration to us during
normal registration (this would be what I would suggest)
3. Something else
