The last two scenarios have closed off registration (full) and it was made quite clear that it wasn't going to be extended.
The numbers were over-subscribed at registration.
In both cases I was aware of a number of people that wished to register. Some went through the walk-on ritual. Some didn't.
FSO is a squad based event. Generally speaking, there is no emphasis on squad participation in scenarios, rather an acknowledgement that you might fly together if the CO can arrange it and you request it. It's pretty evident that people like to fly together as squads. Last week's FSO attendance was ....?
It wasn't that long ago that scenario attendance was somewhat larger than squad ops. If you wish to transfer that growth in fso to scenarios perhaps you may need to look at allowing them all to register for the event instead of stopping them at the first fence;
and encouraging CO's to recruit FSO squads with an eye to keeping them together within the event would also help.
Timing of the events is already about as lousy as it can get for Antipodeans but we still roll up. Any change there would probably be viewed as an improvement. It doesn't seem a priority at this point though.
