Registration for Freezing Saddles 2016 is now open!

[cvcalhoun]

Go to this link to register for Freezing Saddles 2016.

Registering is only the first step in entering. Please read this post for further steps, rules, etc.

If you have trouble with the form, please read the remainder of this post. If that doesn’t work, you can send me a private message.

Executive decisions have been made, after as much input as I could get given the short time involved:

• Slackers will not be able to sign up using the registration form. If you really want to be a slacker, you’ll have to wait until January, and then check the forum for how to sign up for the slackers’ Strava club. (There was no consensus on this one, but it seemed to be the best compromise among three positions that got pretty much equal numbers of votes.)
• People who have participated in past years, but have moved out of the area, will be permitted to participate.
• People will be permitted to request that they be put on a team with people in their geographic area.

Some things you might do will cause the form not to submit:

• If you fail to answer any of the questions marked with an *.
• If the Zip Code you enter is not in Maryland, Virginia, or DC.
• If you don’t check the box for “Are you really gonna play?”, the one for “Legal stuff,” or the one for “I’m not a robot.”
• If you select “I’m not really intending to participate in anything, so I’m not registering for Freezing Saddles” under “Will you participate in the reindeer games?”
• If you try to submit the form after the deadline (which is clearly stated on the page, along with a countdown timer). After the deadline, the form will change to one that indicates that you can still register, but may or may not be assigned to a team.

Some things you might do will not interfere with the form submission, but will get you laughed at by the people who have access to view the submissions:

• If you inaccurately state your FS2015 miles.
• If you submit more than once. If you need to make a change, just send me a private message, and I can fix it. We really don’t need two or three of you signed up.

If you need access to the form results, please send me a private message with your e-mail address and why you need access. I already sent a private message to Sunyata. However, Sunyata, if you’re out there and haven’t yet seen your private messages, please come to the white courtesy phone!

Unfortunately, this still seems to be a problem. A friend just told me that he cannot sign up due to the missing answers.

Your friend was able to sign up. Apparently, he must have tried before the form got updated, and only told you about it after that.
