I said you could register by showing up early. The couple dozen people who in fact did so agree. I said it was easy to attract out of town participants who preregister, for which assertion I offered as support the fact that (as of that writing) 2/3 (50 of 75) of the field lived outside the Shoals area. The only part of that I can imagine being vaguely debatable is excluding Franklin County from my definition of the Shoals. It also bears pointing out that of today's eventual field, at least 79 were from outside Lauderdale and Colbert counties. Again, making it tough or unattractive for out of towners to play was far from "the desired effect" as you suggested, and I remain disappointed that you would make such a suggestion of Mr. Boatwright's intentions.
