The Georgia Regional used losjackal's PokeGym Labs digital registration system. Along with the improved POP Regulations Download ("Battle Box Locking") this resulted in a very smooth registration of significant size -- Masters 274. Seniors 76. Juniors 31 -- in 75 minutes! Could things be improved? Sure. Could other systems do as well or better? Quite possibly!

- One person wasn't on the roster, but she managed to escape going to the registration computers after the regulation download.
The keys, in my view were:
- Experienced staff, trained on the systems.
- Set up the VG reg area and signage the night before.
- Plenty of customer service people to keep the players moving the right direction.
