Sure took some hunting to find the seminars and site map. How about adding links in the FAQ page? That's where people typically go first IMO.

I am wanting to register before May 31 but I am getting tripped up by a question I have that is not answered in the FAQs. There is the option to reserve for extra days. There is no explanation as to whether this is days before the official start of the rally or days after the rally is over. The FAQs say "Anyone arriving prior to Thursday must be an identified volunteer with a rally committee and will be expected to volunteer for rally set-up duties. Rally set-up is a big effort and the set-up volunteers need an opportunity to get their work done in a timely fashion. Please give these volunteers a chance to get the rally ready before your arrival." Understood, but how is "identified volunteer" defined? Someone who has already signed up to volunteer somewhere, at a particular time during the rally or someone who has signed up to help with set-up? I'd LOVE some clarification. If one is an "identified volunteer" and you arrive early are you supposed to sign up for those extra days at $35 per day when you register for the rally? Thanks in advance for the answer to these questions.

Those FAQ' are written to discourage early arrivals if not prepared to volunteer on set up. Will some who don't volunteer arrive early...well yes, they always do. We'll be way too busy to be the police. However, if you do please understand that rally setup actually begins with parts of the staff and rally team's arrival as early as Saturday before the rally begins...it is that much work. So much that in fact many parts of the rally infrastructure like porta-potties, showers, food vendors, etc. are put into place through the early in the week. So...if you arrive earlier than that all of those items will not yet be in place. The rally begins on Thursday. Security will be established around mid-day on Wednesday. We would love to have you join us and help on the set-up. This is always a mix of old hand rally rats as well as new folks just getting involved. so there is no test or check of identifying marks to make sure you are a volunteer.

Ride safe, prepare to have a lot of fun and meet new people. We look forward to seeing you at the Boogie!
