Those currently holding 2008-09 numbers will have until 10 pm on Halloween -- 31 October -- to reclaim their number. I've used the current reserved number list to fence off those digits, but in case someone else claims your existing number, don't melt down...shoot me a note and I'll take care of it. After that, it's open season on all unclaimed numbers through 10 pm on 31 Dec, so make sure you reserve your number before whooping it up on New Year's Eve.
MAE uses e-mail address to determine who holds what number -- if you use a different address to register for an event than what you entered when registering for the number, the software won't let you pick that number. Once number sales stop at the end of December (so the club can be paid), we lose the ability to edit entries as well. For those forced to change their e-mail address in mid-season, that's not a catastrophe...the registrar has the ability to manually change numbers regardless of the list, and I've cheerfully done that for people who've needed it. Simply include a note with your entry.
There's a line in the annoucement about avoiding numbers beginning with "0" -- we've found that such numbers give the system fits. "7" and "07" are two different numbers to the MAE database...but when we download those for the timer, they become the same. So no numbers starting with "0", unless you can show me a license to kill, in which case we'll assign an "00" number for you. Note that clever people stressing the system with zeroes, fractions, decimal numbers, or trying to pick an unavailable number to the exclusion of all others simply give me license to pick one for them...and the club still gets to keep the $20.
