Is this only when you use PDGA's online pre-reg? (we never do, our club has its own storefront - we can look into adding this info there but it still doesn't cover day-of registrants)

...other than asking every new player for their full name, email, postal address, dob, etc. If there were a small postage-paid card we could write the tourney name on and hand them (hint hint) which explains the process while they're physically standing there at the registration desk the morning of a tourney that would be ace. I certainly wouldn't mind collecting such and dropping them in my mailbox while sinking time into the TD report.

Yes, those who have paid dues and actually understand what 'current' actually means!! Hopefully you can understand how supporting members can often get confused into thinking they're new current members by being given a brand new PDGA number.

As I stated above, this concept is pretty worthless when you're taking onsite registrations the morning of the tourney. We generally average only about 1/5 of total registrations early online while the other 80% show up morning-of.

again, I'm not about to waste 84 pages of paper for a one-time use!
Have you ran a tourney all by yourself lately? My point is there's too much to keep up with (yes, 2 or more TDs are ideal), but if we can streamline the process in any regard you might see more people volunteering to at least run more C-Tiers.
