[Deptheads] Pre-Reg Pending

[Strategicon Department Heads]

Couple of questions and clarifications so everyone is on the same page.

1. Do players still have the ability to un-preregister?

2. Can the department head see the contact email of registrant?

3. Is there a way for the supervisor to contact all the attendees in one
message?

Personally, Miniatures has no problem with auto-approving all pre-regs, but
that’s not a huge thing in my department.
