A few extra notes for the regulars:
Those currently holding 2008 numbers will have until 10 pm on New Year's Eve to reclaim their number -- the software's not clever enough to do that automatically for just a month, so what that means is that if anyone picks a number off the current list before that, I'll go in an manually change it to an unpicked option and send an e-mail to that person.
As several of you have found out, MAE uses e-mail address to determine who holds what number -- if you use a differnt address to register than what you reserved the number with, it won't let you pick that number. Once number sales stop at the end of February (so the club can be paid), we lose the ability to edit entries as well. For those forced to change their e-mail address in mid-season, that's not a catastrophe...the registrar has the ability to manually change numbers regardless of the list, and I've cheerfully done that for the few affected by that these past two seasons. Simply include a note with your entry. Polite notes get faster service with fewer mistakes.
There's a line in the annoucement about avoiding numbers beginning with "0" -- I found this year that such numbers give the system fits. "7" and "07" are two different numbers to the MAE database...but when we download those for the timer, they become the same. So no numbers starting with "0", unless you can show me a license to kill, in which case we'll assign an "00" number for you.
