Sure but times were also tough before SGDQ too. Genuinely curious if its always low registration before the games list. I do remember last AGDQ registration didn't cap either. Makes me wonder if people just dont want to travel to Pittsburgh in January (especially if theyre scraping by financially)

Things are inverted for this event where registration opened way before Run Submissions and Volunteer applications. For SGDQ (and other past events that I can remember) reg always opened after Runs/Volunteers were applying. I think it's probably fine.
