[Deptheads] Paperwork Updates!

Type, LARP.

I think that several of us are getting crossed streams on this. What you're
now calling "Classification" *was* called "Event Type" in the past. My
signup sheets have that, and "Tournament" is the default setting for those.
I see now that it's marked as Classification instead of Event Type pretty
much everywhere in the system, but I don't know when that change happened,
or if it was announced. I'll update my sheets accordingly.

"I think not," replied Descartes, and promptly vanished.
