Juniors 26 (though two dropped before R1)
Seniors 63
Masters 96
I can't upload the event yet as I currently have 78 PlayerID issues to resolve. 12 Juniors, 23 seniors and 43 Masters who have outstanding registration problems from the event.
FWIW, I had pre-configured the tournament software with all the players who had attended last years nationals and this years SPT and CC events. Along with a separate list of the 3900 players who have POPID/playerIDs that I can see on the website. The registration delay is down to me, in particular my failure to anticipate that nearly half the attendees would not be amongst the 385 players I had pre-configured or on the list of 3900 active and inactive players I had assembled

SLOPS
Thefts: Banners stolen from the gates, posters taken ( I have no spares of either)
Loss (theft?) of a deck that resulted in a player being unable to continue. Whoever has it can send it to me anonymously if they wish and I'll make sure it gets back to its rightful owner.
Other minor thefts. can theft ever truly be minor?
Language and "Attitude" from a small minority of the players
Technology
Registration: which as in previous years remains the biggest issue with UK Nationals operation.
