The beauty of the thing is that each team enters their own roster into the system, and can update their rosters on their own.

*AND* those changes are instantly visible to everyone and tied to each player's player history.

So from here on out, everyone knows who is playing AND where they have played - so you know, for sure, that the team you're playing in the rookie division doesn't have 5 pros on it.

That and you know the instant your payment has been accepted without having to call anyone.

There are over 1000 players on those rosters, for an event that hasn't even happened yet where the registration cutoff was just yesteray (well, you can still register today as well) - each with their name and player class listed. That's just the beginning though - gimmie a little time and each name will link to that player's profile complete with player photo, hometown, equipment used, etc (assuming the player wants that information available).

Until now, the only way that happened was if a buncha people stayed up all night doing a lot of typing. Totally paperless registration process, in advance of the event.

Paid? Say what?

No, the website hosting fees are being paid *BY* me. And if you think all that was involved was "setting up a website", you don't know dick about databases and user interfaces. There's a good 100 hours of development in this thing so far (which is about $3500 of my time), of which I have not, and will never, get a cent for. And that's not counting all the time I've been on the phone and answering emails over the past week supporting people trying to use the thing (some due to legitimate issues with bringing a new system online, and some due to people just not being able to read.)

As for other people updating it - the whole point is that instead of people filling out pieces of paper and mailing them somewhere where you DO have to pay someone to sit there and enter all that information into the computer and the people who send in the stuff have to wait for it to be done, they just stick it in the computer in the first place, see the results instantly, and NO ONE has to be paid to enter the stuff in the computer.

I'm beginning to think you're just trolling at this point. Either that or you're just entirely ignorant of what you're trying to talk about.
